maybe the terrorists will put him out of our misery.

Dude, I hate Jesse Jackass as much as you, but I don't want to wish that terrorists get him.

I heard that it wasn't Jesse Jackson who successfully negotiated for the release of American POWs in Yugoslavia, but actually a group of Congressmen who went over (from both sides of the aisle). Can anyone help me back this up?

Maybe he can arrange for an exchange: They let the good guys go and keep him. He can be their spokesman. I heard something happened to their old mouthpeice

Does Anyone know where I can find that classic audio file of Jesse Jackson on Saturday Night Live reading "Green Eggs and Ham"?

I can only find a small portion and am looking for the full version.

Any help would be...helpful!

Thx

I thought I heard Jackson say that he called Trent Lott for the phone number of Mrs. Hamel (sp). He called her.

Rita talks too fast and butts in too much to be a man, excited talk. (no offense to females)

I agree. If he can get the hostage released and the terrorists only release him for "political reasons", that's okay as long as the guy is safely returned to his family. And I would be the WH has approved Jackson's involvement. With all that said, I still can't stand the phony creep.

I don't want to argue his motive later, I want to argue it now.

This effort (as were his efforts in Bosnia, regardless of their "success") is an attempt to intervene in US foreign policy, is uncalled for, and is probably illegal.

The Clintonistas bit their tongue when Jesse did his thing in Bosnia, but the Bushies may not have that luxury. Anything that goes wrong will redound negatively to them in an environment where the press is praying for something negative to happen. Even if it goes right, the press will hail Jackson for doing something "the ineffective Bush Administration" couldn't do.

OK - I can see it all now. JJ will have a hostage office next to Bremer. Coalition leaders will refer all families of hostages to his 1-800-IDAMAN!

And what the 'ell is Lott doing mixed up in all of this - he knows the law. "Sen. Trent Lott said he talked with Jackson and helped the longtime civil rights advocate contact the Hamill family. Lott said one step Jackson wants to take is to write a letter to Al-Jazeera, the Arabic language television network, and encourage Hamill's release."

Does everyone think this man is going to be the ONLY hostage taken?????? EVER?????
