He can claim he resigned due to a vicious campaign to smear him, but the truth is, it was his own damn mouth that condemned him.
Comrades, fellow travelers, let me say this again for all to hear and heed. Under no circumstance are you to ever admit to being a Communist.
Once you've exposed yourself and your agenda, your value to the Party is over. And we all know what happens to a useful idiot who outlives their usefulness.
He's lucky this isn't Soviet Russia where he would've been given a show trial, accused of being a counter revolutionary and herded off to a gulag never to be seen again.
As it is, in America, to be a disgraced former apparatchik means that he will die an alcoholic, all alone, ignored by his fellow travelers. His standing invitation to all the A-list parties will be revoked. His speaking engagements at universities will be canceled. Any book he writes from this day forth won't even make it to the Amazon top 500 list, let alone the NYT's best seller list. He may not even be able to find a subsidy publisher.
He will now join the ranks of forgotten Leftwing tools like Cindy Sheehan and Dan Rather. Roaming the celebrity wasteland desperately seeking just a drop of media water to slake their thirst for attention.
Buh bye Van, buh bye....enjoy your new found obscurity.
