Wisely, this is the one day break from Indigo Girls in Indigo week (note that I'm not posting 7; only 4).
I cannot let the day pass by without getting in a hoot about a man that has always taken the low road:
Jackson's son, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. of Illinois -- co-chair of Obama's presidential campaign -- publicly blasted his father's comments Wednesday.
"I'm deeply outraged and disappointed in Rev. Jackson's reckless statements about Sen. Barack Obama," the younger Jackson said. "His divisive and demeaning comments about the presumptive Democratic nominee -- and I believe the next president of the United States -- contradict his inspiring and courageous career."
The lawmaker added that he'll "always love" his father but said, "I thoroughly reject and repudiate his ugly rhetoric."

I don't know how inspiring and courageous a career Jesse elder has had, perhaps when MLK was around to tamp him down. Since then, I'd contrast him as insipid and critical for most of his adult time in the spotlight.
