Oops, did I say that out loud?

The best thing (so far) about the Obama candidacy is that it is forcing Democrats to take a look at the real face of some of their leaders. For instance, the Reverend Jesse Jackson.
Suddenly, years of pretence and the stubborn denial to admit that the emperor' bum is bare, are over.
Democrats now realize that the Rev. Jackson may not be so reverent after all.
And that Hillary Clinton is mostly about Hillary Clinton (paranoid and scheming) and her husband Bill, is a mean-spirited fellow living under the perpetual illusion that the country owes Him, and by extension His Missus, its undying loyalty.
And let's step out of the strict party setting and bring in liberal icon Ralph Nader. Turns out he's an acid-tongued critic of anyone who doesn't sign on to his various and bumbling causes. There's a spooky Hitler-in-the-bunker feel to Nader.
It's been a kick seeing so many of the Democratic faithful ripping in to to the Old Guard.

Jesse Jackson is the epitome of the race-hustling Old Leadership of Black America. He was the king dealmaker -- helping to deliver the votes for liberal candidates while collecting his goodies and enjoying the title of Official Black Leader.
Obama, no matter what you may think of him otherwise, has accomplished more in two years that Jackson did in decades of "public service." The Ol Reverend must be burning inside. And now some of it slipped out.
Wonderful.
