Fox News post by Major Garrett, Fox News White House correspondent:
An administration official said special advisers to the president, or czars, are not required to fill out the questionnaire that runs 7 pages and contains 63 questions. The entire questionnaire, the official said, is reserved for appointees who must win Senate confirmation.
The article continues:
An administration official said Jones never hid his controversial associations or remarks from the White House. "It wouldn't be fair to characterize him as being dishonest or hiding his comments or his positions," the official said. "It's just fair to say that he didn't go through the most rigorous vetting process."
That answers one of the questions we've had about White House vetting. Other ticking time bombs probably exist among the Obama appointee ranks. Go find 'em, New Media.
