Jackson just got in trouble when he said he wanted to cut Obama's nuts off. The news media fell over themselves, tap dancing around exactly what surgical procedure he was talking about. We are not children; we know what he said and are enjoying his rare moment of political incorrectness. He's welcome to the dog house with the rest of us, even though he's only visiting.
The questions are boundless, for something so constricting and neutralizing. What implement will Jesse use; a knife, a sword or the guillotine? Will Berry Obama recieve sick leave for the loss of his berries in his own national healthcare program? Will he need a new nickname other than Berry? Maybe we can call him Berry No Nuts. Will he then hire John Edwards, after Edwards chases down his ambulance, to initiate a civil case? Can he sue the manufacturers of the implement in question, the hospital and the doctors who treat him? Can he demand a surgical reunion? Failing that, will he become an advocate for those who have been shorchanged by life? Then, he can say to the steers of America with rare sincerety "I feel your pain."
Can Obama donate those stray berries, in the spirit of bi-partisanship, to MCCain as the other straw man searches for his own ball bearings, a spine and his missing strawberries? Will it all be resolved at the Democrat convention in Denver, the center of the diminishing range of the endangered Rocky Mountain Oysters?
Can this incident handicap Obama? Well, he certainly won't be able to play poker without the straight nuts or nut draw for a winning hand in No-Limit Texas Hold'em, having nothing to hold, not even a pair. He'd be short stacked, limited and cut off from the competition.
Hillary could then accomodate his alienated sub-committee members in her legendary Testicular Lock Box cited by Rush Limbaugh. There, they can hang out with the other subdivided, subpoenaed pairs contributed by the political castrati, while their former owners sing her praises.
Jesse Jackson is the latest victim of the P.C. Police and was taken out of context. The context in which Jackson was speaking at the time was his opinion that Obama talked down to black people. Obama talks down to everyone, so does Jackson.
However, there are other opinions about Jackson's supposed faux pas. Mike Gallagher, in his blog, pointed out that no one with that much experience hogging the mike is going to make such a mistake.
Did Jackson accidentally/deliberately let it slip, sorry to say, in order to keep himself in the news and engender (render, end gender, endanger or render genderless?) some sympathy for Berry as the victim of the moment? Was he creating a little drama or tragedy in the political theater of the absurd called the Democrat party before the convention in an unconventional way? It's all a farce we should laugh at, like its cast, and disregard it all until they're ready to run for the elections in November.
