Looks like the Cat in the Hat is back. I was wondering where he was. I guess he is just recovering from the Nov. 5th a$$whooping.

Strom was actually the most progressive in the Senate on hiring black staff after the Civil Right bill passed.
The 'King of Constituent Service' knew that they were voters no matter what the color..

Can't Jackson deliver his own statements? Do the liberal, national networks have to deliver statements because Jackson has no outlet of his own creation?

Let's not forget this little California charmer:

It's nice to see that Jesse thinks he still has a moral mandate that allows him to ask for people's resignation.
Sort of like Larry Flynt being concerned about womens rights

I'm sorry, but bringing up the views of Algores dad is simply idiotic. One can't help who their parents are or what their parents believe. And for that matter, his dads views weren't out of the line as most of the white south were "racist segregationists" at the time.

Remember Russert cut his teeth on Capitol Hill as a Democratic Congressional aide.
So his sources are mainly Dims

I was just going to ask for that picture myself.

And Jesse is a race-baiting adulterer. He should resign.
To: Unknown Freeper
I like 'OReilly's idea of investigating Jesses non-for profit tax status even better.. all of that money for supporting his mistresses tax free, there has to be laws broken somewhere.

This is great! Je$$e HyJack$on is worried about Trent Lott, and turns his back on Robert Byrd the avowed racists and document KKK er! So typical of the lying lunatic left!
