This won’t be written in iambic pentameter, but maybe Jesse Jackson will still comprehend.
To borrow from the Andy Warhol observation, your 15 minutes of fame expired a long, long time ago.
Now you’re just an embarrassment — to your supporters, to Barack Obama, to the nation.
Before you make matters worse, just step back, out of the national spotlight. No more media events. No more headline-grabbing publicity stunts. No more freedom marches, no more hunger strikes. No more dim-witted sound bites destined to fill the seemingly endless hours of airtime on right-wing talk radio.
Use your devotion to prayer — and pray that your vulgar comments about Obama will soon be forgotten. Pray that the day will come again when the American public really wants to know your opinion on major issues of the day.
You speak often of forgiveness. Obama may have forgiven your vulgarities, but we haven’t. Not yet. Maybe not ever.
