Did anyone else feel this way about the Jesse Jackson tape?
I've seen it twice on the teevee now, and what jumps out at me is the expression and body language of the gentleman that Jesse is talking to. It is hilarious. Has anyone else noticed this?

13. The public is left to wonder what else he said
Jackson is really twisting in the wind, and is at the mercy of that vulture O'Reilly. They allude to even worse things being said, but how can Jackson defend himself? Meanwhile we wonder what worse he could have said--did he disparage Obama's white grandmother? insult his daughters? say something about Michelle?
Hopefully this will be the end of Jackson's reign as a self appointed political celebrity. It certainly will do nothing to tarnish Obama or his campaign.

7. What I noticed is the hatred on Jesse Jackson's
face when he made the motion of tearing off Obama's nuts. He meant to say what he said and wasn't too aware to assume that he would be heard by someone. C'mon he was at FOX studios..it does not take a brain surgeon to not only be on your guard when in enemy territory but to assume that anything said can be overheard.

8. He knew it was toxic, and was keeping his distance.

Do you think he knew the mike was on?

11. If he was the Fox announcer, he knew that the mike was on.
I think FOX was spying on Jessie.

12. I noticed it too. It's like he's thinking - My God I can't believe I'm
hearing what I'm hearing. Just get me out of here!
