Jesse Jackson Weighs In On Super Bowl Halftime Show

Hardball with Chris Matthews ^ | 02/02/04

[Recovering_Democrat]

Are you ready to play some Hardball? Not so fast, to join this game you’re going to really have to know your stuff, because nobody knows politics like Chris Matthews.

[Recovering_Democrat]

I cannot believe what I just heard on "Hardball". Chrissy Matthews interviewing Jesse Jackson about a variety of things, mostly the presidential primary in Jesse's home state of South Carolina.

Chrissy asks Jesse about the effect/reflection of the culture or his opinion of the nudity on last night's Super Bowl halftime show.

Jesse Jackson says emphatically, "It was an accident. I don't know why everyone is so upset. "

No wonder Jesse Jackson sees things no one else does: he sees "accidents" when the intent and actions are clear.

I was flabbergasted at his stupidity and audacity to go on national television and say he really believed it was an accident.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Oh, by the way, the OTHER guest, Oakland Mayor Governor Moonbeam Jerry Brown also believes it was an accident.

I ask you: is it ANY DAMN WONDER why I am happily a
Recovering_Democrat???

[T'wit]

Maybe Janet is another one of his illegitimate children?

[RckyRaCoCo]

"It was an accident. I don't know why everyone is so upset. "

like many of your children Jesse?

[Ron in Acreage]

It was an accident. He meant to tear off her left cup.

[anniegetyourgun]

He's falling down on the job. He meant to say, "The NFL and CBS are simply being racists by publicly denouncing Ms. Jackson. The Commissioner should be required to interview 50% black entertainers for next year's program....or pay a hefty extortion....er....fine."

Geez....do I have to do all the work around here?

[Ann Archy]

An accident, huh? These so-called ADULT men not have the Discernment they were born with. Just another reason to NEVER....EVER TRUST a DEMOCRAT!

[N. Theknow]

Another Jackson boob shows up on TV.

[joesnuffy]

Janet and Justin even had their cover story well rehearsed all they gotta do is stick to the lie they prefabricated hold to it and get their lackeys in the press to back their version...and voila they will create some doubt and have enough people backing their version...

They will get away with it...which is what they planned to do all along....MTVers laughing at America's un hip...their little anti-culture cultural jiihad

[Bluntpoint]

Jessie said those two planes that slammed into the World Trade Buildings was an accident.

They were just pranks that went bad.

Everyone on the plane had their asses to the windows and they were going to moon the Trade Centers but both pilots were laughing so hard they lost control.

It was really that simple.

[Spok]

"It was an accident."

And anybody who disagrees is a rascist. This pretty well sums up J. Jackson on EVERYTHING!

[csmusaret]

So what if it was an accident? The other 20 minutes was non stop simulated sex, crotch grabbing, obscene lyrics, and other assorted filth and gutter garbage.

[Paulie]

Stuff it, JJ. Your credibility's been in the sewer for quite some time.

[Dante3]

Rev. JJ has always left the impression of being dimwitted. Some of his statements are more like lines from Mad TV.

[Gritty]

It sounds like the Reverend Jesse Jackson thinks this sort of thing is just fine, and doesn't hesitate to say so even though he may lead those in his flock astray.

He doesn't really need to explain it to us, but he will need to explain it to Jesus. It's unlikely he will like the experience.

[ntnychik]

I guess it's official. Tom Brokaw deems it to have been accidental. Meanwhile, tonight's "Access Hollywood" showed an interview with Justin Timberlake immediately after the stunt. Not yet knowing there was any controversy, he bragged that it was "quick, slick, and to the point." Janet's brother, also interviewed, said "That's Janet" until he learned it would be better to blame an accident. One of the lame excuses I heard on TV news tonight was that Justin was supposed to just peel off the black leather part of her outfit. Oops, the right half of the red bra accidentally came with it. Umm, she was wearing breakaway clothing because...?

[anonymous_user]

Despite Janet's performance, Jesse still reigns as the most overexposed black boob ever to grace the airwaves.

[RGSpincich]

It was an accident? Okay. Next question. What was the name of the song they were performing?

[Finalapproach29er]

The commissioner was being "diverse". Another Jackson family pervert on TV. No, not that Jackson......

[anniegetyourgun]

ROFL! Best line on FR today....
