We've been having some fun here with this series of photos featuring Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. practicing martial arts. After Sun-Times columnist Mark Brown wrote about the photos in today's paper, they're now officially more than an Internet phenomenon.
The photos make a nice sidebar to an argument last week between Jackson and Nebraska's Congressman Lee Terry after a debate on an agriculture appropriations bill was tabled for the day. Name calling ensued, prompting Terry to yell "shut up" at the Democrats in general after one said the Republicans "couldn't be trusted" (a generalization with which we don't necessarily agree; we only worry about the fascists neo-cons). Anyway, things between Terry and Jackson heated to the point where Jackson asked if Terry wanted to "go outside and talk about it."
Judging from the photos, we think Junior could have held his own. One never knows, though. Former Cubs catcher Michael Barrett also studies martial arts, and he had his ass handed to him by Carlos Zambrano.

Glade the Congressman is keeping busy, with updating his webpage. I' sure it has NOTHING to due with arrogance, by the way.
And speaking of "By the ways" is that disgraced former congressman Mel Reynolds who held the seat before Jesse Jr, untill his taste for under age girls sent him to club fed in the picture starting with number 14,they guy in the glasses with the mustasch ?
And do you know when Sharpton is due in?

"Former Cubs catcher Michael Barrett also studies martial arts, and he had his ass handed to him by Carlos Zambrano."
He also landed a clean sucker punch on AJ Pierzynski's jaw and didn't even manage to knock him down. Maybe he can find a school in SD that has stronger Kung Fu. ;^)
Jesse Jackson Jr. should show off hiz mad skillz at next year'z Lollapalooza.
What a total nerd. This photo is as laughable as Elvis Presley's hokey karate moves onstage.
Jackson should be ashamed and embarassed. He failed all his training by responding like a thug. His photos are photo-op pics designed to boost his ego. I've trained in Krav Maga for a decade and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for half that long. Tae Kwondo is pillow fighting for nerds and those with motor skill defeciencies. And what kind of Kook goes yearly to visit graves of movie stars? Jessi Jackson is a JOKE!
