Peace at last - once Jesse shuts up By Mark Steyn Reverend Jesse L Jackson - National Rainbow Coalition Bush faces a divided nation THE war is over but not everyone is ready to sign on to Al Gore's peace-and-reconciliation routine. Jesse Jackson - pardon me, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, though whatever pastoral duties he bears never seem to eat into the enormous amount of time he has to hang out in cable TV studios and at street demos. Anyway, the Rev Jesse was on the network news again last night, leading the crowd in his latest audience-participation riff: Jesse: "Everyone matters!" Crowd: "Everyone matters!" Jesse: "Every vote counts!" Crowd: "Every vote counts!" I'm reminded of the old Steve Martin warm-up gag: "I will!" ("I will!") "I will not!" ("I will not!") "I will not repeat robot fashion manipulative slogans shouted at me from the stage!" It seems an odd way of "empowering" someone to insist that he or she chant along with your latest moronic jingle, but this is what the Rev Jesse does and a very nice living he's made at it. He's now promising to continue demonstrations up until the inauguration on January 20. Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr, the reverend's son and a chip off the old block, says George W Bush has "orchestrated a questionable 'velvet legal coup' ". But by Dad's standards this was tame stuff. telegraph.co.uk.

Unbelievable: "We Democrats need to be talking about what we are about, what we are for, not what we are against," Chao said. Shortly after the Nov. 7 election, United Press International and other news outlets reported on efforts by Beckel to, using his word, "kidnap" Republican electors who are not bound by law to Republican Texas Gov. George W. Bush and to switch them to Al Gore. After a barrage of publicity and with Gore campaign chairman Bill Daley and recount advisor Warren Christopher publicly disavowing his effort, Beckel softened his tone, saying he was merely compiling information to send to some of the Bush electors. vny.com
