From Politico via Moonbattery and Scott’s Blog. (”Better late than never, I guess,” he said with a sheepish grin.)
On the day after Senator Barack Obama of Illinois became the presumptive presidential nominee of the Democratic Party, Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. said:
I cried all night. I’m going to be crying for the next four years. What Barack Obama has accomplished is the single most extraordinary event that has occurred in the 232 years of the nation’s political history.
Well, it certainly is extraordinary. But I think there might have been one or two other events that occurred during those 232 years of American history that rate right up there with the anointing of The One. Or even above it. Most rational people might even suspect that Jackson was guilty of sneaking a little hyperbole into his statement.
But Representative Jackson wasn’t finished yet. He went on to gush add:
The event itself is so extraordinary that another chapter could be added to the Bible to chronicle its significance.
Okay. WTF?
I think the young man clearly has inherited one too many of his father’s genes. And at this point I should be screaming “JESUS CHRIST!” in disgust.
But then I wouldn’t want to take Obama’s name in vain, would I?
