Support from libertarians and the Wall Street Journal editorial board hasn’t saved Cass Sunstein from the wrath of Rep. Dan Boren (D-Okla.), a conservative Blue Dog from a district that gave Barack Obama only 35 percent of the vote in 2008. The Tulsa World’s Jim Myers reports on a teleconference town hall in which Boren celebrated the resignation of Van Jones.

Boren joined others in criticizing the growing trend to name czars to lead efforts in specific areas. … He also singled out Cass Sunstein, who was picked by Obama to be the administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs in the Office of Management and Budget.

Boren cited Sunstein’s reported views on animal rights, adding they are out of step with those of Oklahomans.

“I don’t believe he should be appointed to anything,’’ Boren said.

Myers does a quick fact-check: “With his nomination sent to the Senate in April, Sunstein does not appear to fall in the same category as a czar.” That’s right. A member of Congress was unaware that Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs is a Senate-confirmed position.
