The pot calling the kettle black

After old Jesse spread his seed all over America, I find it funny that he would make such a remark.

CHICAGO (AP) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama shrugged off a crude comment aimed at him by the Rev. Jesse Jackson, accepting an apology for a remark Jackson made as he contended that Obama wasn't speaking to issues important to the black community.
Unaware that his microphone was on during a break for a Fox News program last Sunday, Jackson used a slang reference to wanting to cut off Obama's testicles. When he learned Wednesday that the Fox News program "The O'Reilly Factor" would air his comments that night, Jackson apologized for "hurtful and wrong" remarks.
The Obama campaign took a measured response to the incident, contending in a statement that Obama has spoken for many years about parental responsibility as well as "jobs, justice and opportunity for all." "He will continue to speak out about our responsibilities to ourselves and each other, and he of course accepts Rev. Jackson's apology," Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton said.

If anyone needs to be neutered, it's Jesse!

Only thing surprising at all about this to me is that Jackson actually apologized.

Apparently some other media sources are accusing fox news of "playing dirty", however they did not cue Jackson to make the remarks he made, the only one to blame for his comments is himself.

Speaking of idiots, at a recent Dallas County Commissioners meeting, a white commissioner referred to the county agency that collected traffic ticket fines as a "black hole" and a black commission member erupted and started yelling racism!

No way. Is that true? If so, that's one of the funniest things I've read in a while.

Cannot make up stuff like that Eric.

Really kind of think it is sad myself.

Really it is a shame that some are so quick to assume and make charges of racism in instances like this where it holds absolutely no merit.

What's really a shame is that someone can hold elected office in a large metropolitan county and not know what the heck a black hole is.

I wonder how much influence this person has on the education system in Dallas County?

yep, that whole black hole thing is crazy. and the black guy never did apologize....

On the subject that was started, wonder why it is that Al Sharpton didn't show up on one of the talk shows demanding Jesse be fired/or banded from what ever like he has for others comments. i.e.-Don Imus to name one, seems there were some others.
