Jesse Jackson is all over CNN, in full-on damage control mode over comments he made about Obama that haven’t even become public yet (but obviously will).  Such a media-savvy guy; is he trying to do damage-control, or is he trying to hype the comments?  A public fight with Jackson would certainly help Obama a la a Bill Clinton and Sistah Souljah.

My guess is that it’s damage-control, and Jackson has the connections and political savvy to understand the ramifications of what he said and to begin to try to limit the damage.  Whatever he said, it must be pretty bad.  Still, the speed with which Jackson is moving to apologize before the scandal becomes public is impressive – he must’ve learned a lot from being on the other side of the pursuit of scandal.
