Bring Back Snooki

By Art Gallagher

Rutgers must be trying to become Berkeley East.

The State University of New Jersey is following up the $32,000 appearance by Snooki with a speaking engagement by Valerie Jarrett, a Senior White House Adviser and Assistant to the President for Intergovernmental Relations and Public Liaison.

Intergovernmental Relations. That’s what Frank Pallone’s wife is in charge of for the EPA.

Jarrett also is the Chair of the White House Council on Women and Girls. Who knew there was a White House Council on Women and Girls? President Obama created in by Executive Order back in March of 2009. The mission of the council is to provide a coordinated federal response to the challenges faced by women and girls and to ensure that all Cabinet and Cabinet-level agencies consider how their policies and programs impact women and families.

In July of 2009, the NY Time published a 8100 word profile on Jarrett, The Ultimate Insider. The author said he spent four months researching Jarrett and couldn’t figure out her “ineffable raison d’etre in the Obama White House.”

That makes Jarrett the perfect follow up for Snooki, who’s raison d’etre is equally ineffable.
