Freuters—The Rev. Jesse Jackson, seemingly on a roll with an endless array of slave-era euphemisms to describe the plight of African Americans in the wake of hurricane Katrina, has called for authorities to rename the New Orleans Superdome. .

“When I see the those walls, I see the hull of a slave ship,” said Jackson. “When I see those advertising banners and championship pennants surrounding the perimeter, I see a circumspect black man sitting in the crow’s nest. When I see the putrid, scurvy, urine-soaked squalor inside that stadium

I wonder how the NFL will greet his comments, comparing a stadium to a slave ship.

The Superdome has hosted the Superbowl more times than any other venue.

[television is just wrong]

Jesse Jackson again proves himself irrelevant

JJ is very clever with manipulating words. That is all he and his fellow DumRats are good for. No solutions.

Anybody care to add their own Johnnie Cochranism to this situation?

Here's mine (it's not so good but it's a start):
