Jesse Jackson's Getting Press Over on Christopher Street

Posted by Michael Musto at 9:00 AM, July 25, 2008

The other night at my favorite unassuming Village bar, Pieces, the Too Ugly For TV revue contained a rousing episode of a game show called "Are You More Racist Than Jesse Jackson?" Drag queens Vodka Stinger and Tallulah DeBayous asked audience members to use terms like "jungle bunny" in a sentence and then the crowd decided if they were more offensive than Jesse. Most of them weren't. Later in the evening, Vodka blew a fuse and started screaming at an African American patron, who was promptly persuaded to get the fuck out. But THAT wasn't racist. "He's just a horrible skank," explained Vodka, elegantly.

Musto, you've got to stop going to that skanky place. You'll get a reputation.

"More racist than Jesse Jackson"?
How stupid and/or racist are these queens anyway?

Jesse wins every time because he's so poetic and his words are frequently turned into catchy pop songs: "Hymie to the Moon" is one of my personal favorites.

I love that place. Fun and not all about poseurs. They have the hippest karaoke, too.

Is he racist because he said the n word? Or do they mean he's racist against whites?

Black as Tar? or White as blow?

Who knows how his honky tonk rolls.

That was pretty gosh darn awful for a preacher of the Holy Word.

Jesse's not a racist. He's a legendary asshole though and super self-righteous. But he's very charismatic and has a BIG dick. Larry Craig told me that. He knew the dick size of just about every politician, thanks to those years of T-room cruising. He had a few too vodka stingers (as it were)one night and started dropping beads: Barney Frank -- average dick, McCain is small, but with big balls (natch!), Jim McGreevey has a cock as thin as a Number 12 pencil, and John Edwards supposedly has a heavy-gauge Prince Albert!

The thing that really freaked me the fuck out was why did Jesse make that jerky cutting motion as he was talking about cutting Obama in the onions? Every time they replay that video, I cringe a little, do a rapid intake of breath and double-up in the foetal position. Why did Jesse feel the need to illustrate his technique like that? Trippy.

Not surprised McGreevey has the "Irish curse" (pencil dick), Tallu. He has the aura of an under-endowed pushy bottom. Did Larry tell you anything about Howard Dean's sazeech? I bet it's sizeable and turns an angry red when it's aroused.
