The president of the NAACP hearts Van Jones, who he says "may be the most misunderstood man in America." He's giving Jones the NAACP's President's Award at the 41st Image Awards on Friday.

Far from the divisive caricature painted by some cable news outlets [Some? I don't seem to remember any net but Fox News mentioning teh crazee that is Van Jones, but I guess you'd rather not mention them by name, especially since you're writing this for Completelyignored News Network--ed], Van has been one of America's most effective and inspiring bridge-builders. He has successfully brought together labor leaders, business executives, civil rights champions, students and environmentalists to find creative solutions to the ecological and economic crises. His efforts earned him designation as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum in 2004.
