Okay, so it was a pretty dumb thing to say...

But really, its a joke, EVERYONE, including the Russians, knows it is, etc.
Its supposed to be FUNNY!!!  I mean really, comedians tell jokes about
people in wheelchairs, accidents, etc., and no one thinks any more about it
than as a joke.  I for one, thought it was amusing when I heard about, as
did lots of people I know.  What Jesse Jackson said was NOT said as a joke,
it was a 'behind the scenes' remark, not primarily intended for its humorous
value.

Its time the media learned to laugh about these things, and then forget them,
the way they're supposed to...  Now lets talk about some REAL issues in this
campaign, not phony made-up ones...
