You have a "problem", Shorty...keep working on it.

Note that the blogosphere is the one that pointed out Jesse's intemperate use of terminology. Fox News had the transcript but didn't release it...so blame your media pals at Fox for not getting this big story out!

Fox: Jackson used N-word in crude off-air remarks


CHICAGO — Fox News says the Rev. Jesse Jackson used the N-word during a break in a TV interview where he criticized presidential candidate Barack Obama.

The longtime civil rights leader already came under fire this month for crude off-air comments he made against Obama in what he thought was a private conversation during a taping of a "Fox & Friends" news show.

Now a Fox spokesman says Jackson used the N-word to refer to black people during that taping as he said Obama was talking down to them. Those comments were not aired.

Jackson — who is traveling in Spain — apologized in a statement Wednesday for "hurtful words" but didn't offer specifics.

The N-word comment was first reported by blog TVNewser. Fox declined to release the transcript.
