Can't Tell The Difference Between Al Sharpton & Jesse Jackson

For those that have missed it earlier today:

This is double-whammy. One, she's a female and loses some credibility by some. Two, she's white and is accused of thinking all black people look alike. Poor lady, can't win, but funny nonetheless.

The look on his face is priceless, plus she's quick on her feet not and without charm.

Great point!

MSNBC has a history of "news anchors" having thrills up and down legs that obscure visual acuity and ability to think.

Thus, a gaff such as this is to be expected I guess.

Jackson just comes across as taking himself WAY to seriously. What if he'd answered by saying "Well, Katie, call me Jesse blah blah blah. . . "
A level of un-attainable coolness, I guess.
