The apple doesn't fall far from the tree

It's come to this!

As they prepared to vote into law the largest tax-hike in American history, members of the House led by who else....Jesse Jackson Junior, demanded and received a moment of silence for Michael Jackson. Here's the eye-rolling quote from JJJ.....

WASHINGTON (CNN) – The House of Representatives held a moment of silence Friday morning to mark the passing of legendary singer Michael Jackson.

"His heart couldn't get any bigger, and yesterday, it arrested," said Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. "I come to the floor today on behalf of a generation to thank God for letting all of us live in his generation and in his era."

What an idiot!!! I guess Junior is just like his camera-hog dad, whenever a black celebrity is in the news, for whatever reason, he's got to be front and center to foster some more street cred with the black voters. Like the nation doesn't have enough going on already.

Do your jobs you preening morons and mourn the weirdo on your own time!
