What did Jesse Jackson mean?

[yesthattom]

When the pro-Obama Jesse Jackson was accidentally caught by a mic saying to another person that he’d like to cut Obama’s balls off, what did he mean? Did he mean he wanted to prevent a Bill & Monica situation? Obama has been the single most unsexual candidate in a while. There are rumors that Hil is a lesbian (can’t be true), that McCain uses Viagra, but Obama is so sexy he doesn’t need to talk about it. Jesse could have meant that if we’re gonna be safe, we better make sure our candidate doesn’t get any ideas about how attractive power makes a man.

This is the part of the controversy that I want the media to investigate. Alas, I doubt they will.

Take away his energy; humiliate him. But I think you knew that.

...while simultaneously being the SEXIEST man alive! :-)

I used to feel guilty lusting after him, but then I realized I was just one of millions doing so. :-)

I'd hit it.

Not counting that George W. Bush guy? There's nothing sexy about a person who evokes disgust in so many people.

I'd say that disgust in most anything you're not presently smelling comes from the contrast between what something is supposed to be—the arena something presents itself in—and what it actually is. George Bush may not be sexy to most, but the very disgust you mention comes in part because he presents as very sexual and your reaction is NO!

The part that I want the media to investigate is if this was a manufactured crisis. I firmly believe Faux News left the mic open on purpose and goaded Jesse into saying something stupid.

Not that he needed much goading, since he prefers the spotlight no matter how hot it burns. Even his son has admitted on the radio that his father's antics embarrass him.

Does anyone really care what JJ says or doesn't say? I sure don't.
