I went to bed all pissed off at Jesse Jackson… all I can say is REALLY, Jesse? Is this how the lion in winter gets his moment in the spotlight? I love how his son, Jesse Jackson Jr., dealt with it — “He should keep hope alive and any personal attacks and insults to himself.” […]

July 7, 2008 by 16 Comments
