I’ve read that you can pop corn in any old paper bag. Microwave popcorn is a scam.

I dunno. I don’t eat it.

“My appeal was for the moral content of his message to not only deal with the personal and moral responsibility of black males, but to deal with the collective moral responsibility of government and the public policy which would be a corrective action for the lack of good choices that often led to their irresponsibility,” Jackson said in a statement issued Tuesday afternoon.”

His original statement was a lot clearer.

As always, they had to do Jesse “Marble Mouth” Jackson’ comments with subtitles.

I used to work with three black reverends. None of them had a congregation.

JESSE WILL GET A PASS.

Not if he criticized the Messiah

Come on guys and gals, you know this was a set-up. Then outta the blue his own son goes off on him (under the bus)?

His daughter was just on Chicago Public TV extolling the praises of BO two days ago.

This is a distraction from him answering questions on Iran, Iraq, Energy, Chicago record, lack of senate or senate committee attendance, more folks coming up for trial re: Rezko/Blago (past court calendars now scrubbed re: Rezmar and others dockets), his hate filled website, keeping the house purchase update (and Tribune interview), the exploitation of his girls on Access Hollywood, getting close to Jarrett/others and killing the first amendment on the web by shutting down sites/killing youtube accounts/sicking his lawyers on those who write too close to the truth.

I don’t see how this is good at all. This will only make Obamanation look like more of a sympathetic figure. The media will breathlessly tell us that this is an example of how Obama has overcome so much, and how he will bring positive Change™ to a nation that is in need of an inspirational unifier. Wait and see.

Sounds very plausible. Didn’t Michelle used to baby sit for Jr? Wasn’t she supposed to be over at their house all the time? And Jr’s got a big position in Obama’s campaign, puts out an unreal-sounding condemnation of his father’s comments.

Obama had better keep both hands on his mivonks when Jesse’s around!

If that is all he said, then the problem is not in what he said, but that he disparaged the profit Obama.

I was going to correct your misspelling, but you may be onto something there.

What's wrong with dem darn ministers? One cusses America by damning us-—one wants to rip the testicles off his bro.

If I were to say those nasties, the world would fall on my head.

BO is hurting Jesse’s cash flow.

Jesse is circling the bowl, even as we speak.

Jesse’s pissed.

BO could care less.

Please pass the popcorn.

O’REILLY: ‘We held back some of this conversation... we didn’t feel it had any relevance to the conversation this evening. We are not out to get Jesse Jackson. We are not out to embarrass him and we are not out to make him look bad. If we were, we would have used what we had, which is more damaging than what you have heard’...
