Even more disturbing then his comment is the hand gesture that accompanies it. What the heck is he doing? He gets so into it for that brief second — it’s a little scary. And how awkward is it for the guy next to him? That dude clearly understands how mics work. You can see his internal monologue, “Don’t nod in agreement… Don’t get too close… Don’t smile… Faith based groups…. Nuts?! Did he just say nuts?!?” Jackson is like the douchebag at work that nobody wants to sit next to at the morning meeting. Nobody wants to be the Bag by association.

Gee, I wonder if Jesse would have apologized if his mic weren’t on.
I think that’s what’s was at the core of his apology — not “I’m sorry I said those things”, but rather “I’m sorry I was stupid enough not to check my mic.”
Wouldn’t that be great is politicians starting issuing apology statements for things they were saying behind closed doors?!
Jimmy Carter admitted that he sinned in his heart and it eventually won him the Nobel Peace Prize…
he’s not the least bit sorry he said those things, just sorry as hell he got caught….
re: Bag by Association, we either need a bigger conference room or fewer Bags….it’s impossible not to sit next to one, I usually have one on each side
