Yes, he will. All you need to do is turn on three or more news cameras on in the same place and Jesse is there.

>>Since Jessie Jackson provided a scholarship for the accuser in the Duke Lacrosse scandal, do you think he will do the same for the boys now?

Several major sponsors of his show (GM, P & G, big advertisers like that) have announced they are dropping out, which I am sure is what led msnbc.com to drop Imus. I will be surprised if the radio station does not follow suit. The color that really got him in trouble was not black or white, but green.

>>>Well for whatever reason, he is being "slaughter" for words that are being used everday by other entertainers. All of a sudden the Al Sharptons and Jesse Jacksons of the world are concerned about langauage that are being used over the airways .... give me a break!
