Jesse Jackson

Professional buttinksi and all-around asshat Jesse Jackson has inserted himself in the Schaivo case. It appears he wasn't getting enough press being Jacko's spiritual advisor. Said Jackson, "a consistent moral and ethical position would extend a feeding tube to all who are confronted with starvation -- to demand public, government policy to feed the hungry."
WTF? At the very least I have to admit his non-sequitirs are consistently baffling. The case is apparently about welfare not the right to die or for spouses to make decisions. Listen up people! No more food stamps, everyone on AFDC is getting a hole in the gut. Jesse, shut the fuck up!

I just saw on cnn.com that he had become involved in this mess. I'm quite disappointed.

Since when does Jesse Jackson care about the plight of a braindead white woman?

You misunderstand. He is obviously speaking metaphorically of those starved of publicity and media attention.

Some greedy folks have been taking his share.

Futile Gesture, I want to thank you for clearing this up for me. ...I'm still going to keep developing my feeding tube harpoon gun if you don't mind.

Jesse believes strongly in the sanctity of marriage ,why isn't he siding with Mr. Schiavo on this issue?

Excellent, Guin.

I think Jackson is wrong about Mrs Schaivo but he does have a point. A consistent "culture of life" should be making more strides to eliminate poverty and ensure no one goes hungry in the land of plenty.

And so, Jesse Jackson falls below Al Shapton on my credibility meter. I never thought I'd live to see it.

*sigh*

I personally have ceased to be surprised at anything Jesse Jackson does. He continues to venture closer and closer to that hallowed zone of inanity in which the only people who now respect him are the same people who would still support him if he starting randomly knifing babies. This, along with his support of Jackson, is just another step along that journey.

You actually spoke the leet writing phonetically? My God, before you know it, it will be like ebonics and people will be asking teachers to take this on as a second, er.. third.. er fourth language. I just had the image of the movie "Better Off Dead" when the main characters father is reading the books and trying to relate to his son. Somehow, I see your father in the other room frantically paging through a self-help book after you yelled that out and worrying because he could not find the reference page. He probably thought you exclaimed in happiness the name of a Thai porn website you just found that offered free admission.

What was it someone said should be Jackson's motto? "Everybody's racist-gimme money!"

No worries. I just find leet-speak especially amusing today, for whatever reason.

Yeah, but they're totally delusional at the moment, I give them a pass. 24 k asshat OTOH should know better.

Actually, I should know better then to think he would know better, but I digress....

I can see Darryl Hammond spoofing him this Saturday night, but I can't hear any of the words.

A whore being a whore isn't news. So it fits right in with the usual 24-hour "news" crap.
