Anyone over the age of 40 knows that Jesse Jackson is the political version of the ubiquitous Sean Combs. Jesse has never been camera shy and has managed to inject himself into every presidential campaign in one way or another.
Remember “Hymietown”? So the latest controversy involves Jackson making unsavory remarks while criticizing Sen. Barack Obama. His comments were picked up by a live Fox news mic.
You can’t convince me that Jackson did not know his mic would pick up his every word when he said he wanted to cut Sen. Barack Obama’s nuts off. After all, Jackson knew he was a guest on FOX News — the most racist of all news networks.
When word of his comments was leaked to the media – by Fox news – Jackson released a statement saying his comments were meant to be private.
Well, comments that are meant to be private are delivered in privacy — not while wired and sitting on a set directly in front of FOX news cameras. Jesse is no novice when it comes to live television interviews. He’s seen enough infamous hot mic gaffes to know how they work.
So Jackson got exactly what he wanted: to be the center of media attention since Obama is the presidential campaign poster boy, and the networks have been pretty much ignoring Jackson as of late. Unlike the media, I am onto Jackson’s manipulative ways and I won’t waste another second on this non-story.
