   I don’t know. I don’t think she was trying to pass blame. I think she was just trying to keep him from feeling too bad about it.

   And he seemed to feel pretty bad!

   When I saw the words “MSNBC’er” and “mix-up,” I knew it had to be Contessa Brewer.

   It’s amazing there are people who think Sarah Palin’s dumb and that she’s “a smart thinker.”

   But seriously, you’d think that a guy like Jesse Jackson would have understood what was going on, and just have thicker skin about it…His eyes look like that of some royal official who didn’t getproclaimed with the right title-’pretty pompous, I’d say.

   Never mind “a penny for your thoughts” — I would donate a buck to Operation PUSH to read JessJack’s mind at that moment. It was probably worse than what he mumbled about Obama on FNC.

    So this is one of the “real” news networks, eh? You know I have been hearing a lot of mistakes, retractions, and apologies from CNN lately, that “real” news network. The only mistake I have seen Fox make lately is when Bill O’Reilly failed to catch the remark made by a black dj guest telling a black NPR guest to “get back to the porch”.

    I saw the Rev’s attitude close up years ago on a red eye flight to LAX from SFO. Jesse and his party sat way off to the side of the USAir boarding area at SFO (old PSA term. #1).

    I sat in the first row of coach on the 737. Jesse and his party of 6 boarded last and took over the whole 8 seats in the first class section. Their seats went right to full recline position and stayed there the whole flight – taxi, takeoff, cruise, landing, taxi.

    Meanwhile we peons in coach were told to make sure our seats were upright, blah, blah, blah. The stews ignored the Rev’s group. Afraid to be called RAAAAACISTS??

    I have flown in 1st class more than a few times, domestic and int’l., and I have NEVER seen any other passengers refuse to observe standard safety procedures.

    So he is the Reverend Jesse Jackson, the shake down artist from Chicago, as opposed to the Reverend Al Sharpton, shake down artist from New York.I do not know why people revere shakedown artist-must be a big city thing.
    They do all look alike to me-they get that way in Shakedown Theology school.

    The good reverend is one of the biggest racists on the planet. He is the ultimate color-carney, hyping his skin color whenever it will get him more power and money. You could write journals about this guy’s racist shake-down escapades. I once heard a black man who was an airline steward say that on a private flight, Jesse demanded that he peel grapes for him to eat.

    Of course it’s the teleprompter’s fault. Our race hustling reader is always doing that. Else why would the very next day he say something different from what the teleprompter said the previous day.

    Race baiters all look alike to me.

    As for that “Reverend” part..

    Matthew 7:21-23 21″Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!

    Another thing about that, the Preacher at my Church, a REAL Reverend, doesn’t insist on always being called that. So, why does Jesse and Al always insist on being called that?

    I bet there’s some (quiet but nasty) competition going on between Jesse and Al. That pause and ‘look’ of Jackson’s was likely due to Al getting all the spotlight lately and now this ‘prompter reader’ gives it to Al again.

    It’s easy to be a civil rights activist if you’re black.

    1. Proclaim yourself a “reverand”. Now that doesn’t mean you have to live any sort of higher calling lifestyle. Adultery, drugs, booze, hate filled language, etc. are all fair game for these reverands. I have to believe God is shaking his head thinking these guys don’t represent him at all but he’ll take care of it on the day they do finally meet. Gonna be hot Al and Jessie.

    2. Sit back and watch the news for anything that can be twisted into a racial issue. If nothing seems to be going on just make something up, gather a crowd of angry blacks chomping at the bit to riot, load them up and get it going. Don’t let the facts or truth get in the way.

    3. Label anyone that questions you as a racist. Someone says your hate filled language is wrong and uncalled for. RACIST! The waiter is upset at your $1 tip. RACIST! Prostitute accuses white kids of rape and is found to be a liar. The white kids are still RACIST! You see the pattern right?

    4. Target a select group of companies each year and threaten a race campaign against them if they don’t give you large sums of money.

    5. Get yourself on TV every chance you get and appoint yourself the speaker and representative for all black people and minorities.

    6. Never apologize for anything you say or do. Even when you are wrong it’s somebody else’s fault.

    7. Most importantly learn how to speak in quick three to four word sentencs that build on each other as your anger grows. Also, learn to ryhme several words.

    The Left knows that Sarah Palin is no dummy. She can run circles around the Little Man. That’s why they constantly attack her. Mockery derision and ridicule is the time tested marxist strategy to use on people they fear and perceive as an enemy.

    Why do you think they have ignored Newt lately? He’s no threat to their political hedgemony.

    Proclaim yourself a “reverand”.

    I don’t know if it’s true today, but several years ago, you could purchase a certificate, declaring yourself a “reverand” for $25. I believe that’s how some of these losers got the attachment to their names. It is a great con game, for power, to use on the ignorant and gullible.

    Silly little girl. When you are more preoccupied with how you look and sound, it’s difficult to remember that you are actually on set to provide a “news” product not eye candy. Thus it’s easy to get tripped up by a teleprompter.

    Don’t worry though, you are in good company with El Presidente Obama. He gets wrapped around the axel regularly.

    As a teenager in Greenville, South Carolina, the “reverend-to-be” was known to spit in the soup bowls of white patrons when he worked in the kitchen of a local hotel restaurant. He grew into such a nice man.

    The Jackson “spitting into the food” story isn’t complete without the Reverend’s admitted “satisfaction”:
    
    

    Even the Rev. Jesse Jackson admitted in a LIFE magazine interview to contaminating the soups and salads of white customers while working as a waiter in the 1950s. “Spitting into the food gave me a psychological satisfaction,” Jackson told LIFE.

    I never argue with the guy filling my bowl.

    Keith’s principal contribution to the program is his nightly display of self-congratulation and pompous douche-baggery.

    I’ve never heard of Contessa Brewer it’s obvious to me that she could do the same job as Barack Obama. Just turn off your brain and dutifully read the script that was prepared for you by somebody else, and if you misspeak it’s THEIR fault.
