Waiting (UPDATED)
baldilocks —
Like most others who care, I'm waiting to see what the exact rude thing is that Jesse Jackson has said about Barack Obama and felt the need to apologized for--things said while the former was in FNC studios and thought that his microphone was turned off. The Rev. Jesse Jackson apologized Wednesday for saying Obama is “talking down to black people” during what he thought was a private conversation with a FOX News reporter Sunday. Jackson also made an off-hand comment about cutting off a part of Obama’s anatomy. Yikes. Bill O'Reilly will break the exact wording of the alleged offense in a few minutes. Of course, this is silly. It will be fun, however, to have ...
Jesse Jackson Threatens to Castrate Obama
Flopping Aces —
Yikes!
So much for the stories about unity in the Democrat Party and how excited black Democrats are to vote for Obama.
Imagine if John McCain, or any prominent Republican had said such a thing.

No More Mister Nice Blog — JESSE JACKSON'S WTF MOMENT I don't how you get from this to castration (if you don't know what I'm talking about, read the story and watch the video), but Jesse Jackson has never liked the faith-based provision of government services, or at least he's never liked the George W. Bush version: he told The Washington Post shortly before Bush was inaugurated, "I know the subplot: This is an attempt to play one group against the other," and a few weeks after the inauguration, according to the Chicago Sun-Times, he "issued warnings about faith-based social service programs funded by the government...[He said the] ...

Nice Deb’s New Hero
The Hostages: Planning A Code Red Since April 2007 —
As many Hostage readers know, Nice Deb likes to cover stories that involve testicle abuse. It’s not that these stories fill me with glee, or anything like that. I’m more interested in examining the psychological motives for such attacks, why being able to manipulate victims and show a sense of power ...
Sage Jesse Jackson Urges President Musharraf to Step Down
Gateway Pundit —
Peacemaker and race hustler Jesse Jackson urged President Musharraf to step down in Pakistan. He also called for an end to violence. Beautiful. He did not mention anything about cutting nuts off if Musharraf did not comply, however. Dawn reported: American civil rights leader Jesse L. Jackson, Sr., has urged President Pervez Musharraf to resign immediately and save his country from further political chaos. In a statement issued by his office, Mr Jackson also appealed for end to violence in Pakistan. “For the sake of democracy, civility and security, I appeal to President ...
Jesse Jackson Jr. would be "honored and humbled" to replace Obama
Politico Live's Blogs —
Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.) has his eye on the potentially soon-to-be vacant seat now held by Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.). Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich would be tasked with appointing a replacement if Obama wins the presidential election.
"If Senator Obama wins -- and I'm optimistic that he will, I indeed would be honored and humbled to succeed him in the U.S. Senate. But, in the end, the decision rests with Governor Blagojevich and I'm confident that he'll make an appointment in the best interest of the state as well as the nation," said Jackson Jr. in a statement.
Jackson Jr. is a close ally of Obama's and co-chairman of ...
TIME's Top 10 List Of Everything 2008
The Huffington Post | Full News Feed —
TIME magazine has put out their Top 10 List of Everything 2008, and their first choice is when Jesse Jackson got caught on a hot mic uttering a vulgar line about Barack Obama. The video, first shown on "The O'Reilly Factor," spread like wildfire.
"See Barack Obama been, um, talking down to black people on his faith based...I want to cut his nuts off."
--Rev. Jesse Jackson, picked up on a hot mic whispering to a colleague before an interview with Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor
The crude remark, made a few weeks after a speech in which Obama ...

Riehl World View —
Allegedly Jessie Jackson Jr. has talked to the Feds about Blago since 2006 when he feels he was the target of a $25,000 shakedown over his wife being up for a slot with the state lottery. Now recall Jackson senior suggesting he'd like to remove a certain part of Obama's anatomy for "talking down to black people" on this "faith based," whatever he was referring to. There may well might be more to the animosity than that. In a sense, there are two camps emerging as Obama was definitely a Blago guy given his high profile in support of Blago's political campaigns. One of them the very same one in which Jackson Jr. felt he was the target of a shakedown.

Making a list...
Michael Calderone's Blog —
Politico ran its "Top Ten Media Blunders of 2008" yesterday, along with a follow-up from readers, looking at what didn't make the initial cut. And TVNewser readers chose Fox's "terrorist fist jab" as the most "blunderful."
Of course, other media outlets are enjoying the annual tradition of list-making as offices begin clearing out for the holidays. Gawker went with the "Ten Worst Media Moments of 2008," including Peggy Noonan and Mike Murphy dissing Sarah Palin on a hot mic. I overlooked this clip, which took place during the Republican Convention, along with another classic hot mic moment. ...
Daniel Kurtzman: 2008's Most Laughable Political Antics
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com —
In a year when everyone was looking for a bailout, politicians did more for political comedy than any other industry. We had governors gone rogue, reverends gone wild, shoe-throwers, imaginary snipers and, of course, everyone's favorite mavericky, Prada-wearing hockey mom. As a salute to those who made this the funniest year since, well, last year, here's a look back at 2008's most memorable feats and foibles, in words and glorious video:
