The Gist

Another Jesse Jackson Apology

Once again Jesse Jackson is apologizing for making disparaging remarks, this time against Barack Obama for "lecturing" the black church. The comments were picked up on a Fox News mic that he didn't know was on. They were to be broadcast on Fox tonight, but he issued an apology to CNN and it's been the lead story all afternoon, as if this is the most important political story of the day. Another distraction.
