PITY POOR JESSE – HE JUST CAN’T MAKE IT HAPPEN! From the Neal Boortz web site Jackson keeps trying and trying --- but he just can’t seem to gain the center stage in the Florida election story. The more he’s ignored by the media, the more outrageous he becomes. Race warlords like Jackson just can’t stand to see a huge story out there without race as a major element. So, our favorite publicity whore supreme has ratcheted up the rhetoric a bit. Maybe if gets outrageous enough someone will actually pay some attention to him! Yesterday Commander Jackson railed against the Republicans for wanting to count military absentee ballots in Florida. He said Bush "has this newfound love for veterans. He could have been one but he dodged military service. And so this is a kind of late fascination he has about soldiers." Last Friday, during a demonstration, the champion race-baiter set his sights on World War II veteran Bob Dole. Jackson joked about Dole's use of Viagra. He said, "He's not mean. He's just excited." Oddly enough, Jackson has nothing to say about Al Gore's own stint in the military, which consisted of a short tour of duty in Vietnam as a military reporter, complete with his own personal bodyguard, who kept young Gore out of danger. And Jackson has nothing to say about Bill Clinton, who dodged the draft and wrote of his loathing of the military from the safety of merry old England. How about it, Jesse? Care to comment on the fact that the "nation's first black president" avoided conscription by using his wealthy uncle's influence? Or that the man you want as your next president had a plum assignment in Vietnam, thanks to his dad's influence? Of course he doesn't want to comment on that. To acknowledge the Clinton-Gore administration's own shortcomings would be to admit that Jesse Jackson is a hypocrite. boortz.com
