Van Jones: "You can't polish this turd."

I’m not sure which particular turd was being referenced here by noted turd expert Van Jones. But regardless, Anderson Cooper is the voice of experience: No matter what you rub against a turd, or how vigorously you do so, you can’t polish it.
Seems like CNN is cool with excretory metaphors these days. People can openly say “$#!+” and it’s no big deal. It’s like one of those basic-cable shows where you can say the S-word but not the F-word. Except way more boring.
James Earl Jones should record a new tagline for them: “Piss… is CNN!”
