Humility Becomes Him

'No one has inspired more blacks for hope in America than I have,' he modestly declared.

Take that Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.!

Hey, but big business loves the Rev. JJ. MetLife donated $150,000 in 2001, UPS Foundation $75,000, AT&T $300,000, Bank One Corp. $65,000, Burger King $100,000, Lockheed Martin $15,000. The list goes on. Even NASCAR gave $150,000.

Of course Jesse was the one smearing himself with the proverbial blood (or literal depending on who you ask) of MLK Jr. when he died.

This was listed by the The Washington Times on Jan. 15, 2003 in a chart of selected donors. NHL gave $5,000. CocaCola gave $50,000. However, there was nothing listed from the NBA or NFL. I wonder if there is a list of all donors anywhere on the Internet.

Inspirational Rev. JJ, the Clinton soul-mate, is not. Nor is he a great role model. Definitely not a faithful husband and concerned father. Rather, in view of the jokes about him, he reminds one more of the court jester.

He looked tired, bloated, seemed under some sort of medication. Did not make sense at times. lots of blather, lots of words, no substance.

"Jesse Jackson described himself as the most 'inspirational black Amercian of all time.'

Now I'm confused...MUD
