Can Jesse Jackson possibly be as stupid as he's making himself out to be? First, he is captured on a live microphone, during a break, saying that Barrack Obama has been "talking down" to blacks. Next, in a seperate episode, after an apology for the first slip up, he talks into a live microphone using the n-word.
The press loves this stuff! The tape will be rolling whenever Jackson is within sight, and the mic will always be live. Like it or not, we're living in a sound byte world. You've got 10 seconds to make a point, or in Jackson's case, 10 seconds to embarass yourself. Does anybody really look up to this guy? To me, he ranks up at the top of the list of famous people who should be ignored...except for his spicy off-camera remarks. Maybe he knows this. If he does, he may be a genius!
