JESSE JACKSON must be feeling fabulous these days. The nation’s most recognizable cleric/politician has been caught knocking up an aide; has been caught lying about it; and is suspected of supporting his auxiliary family with crates of cash taken from organizational accounts. He has topped the gaudy display with an act of contritional blitzkrieg best measured by stopwatch and laughmeter.
It is true that any high-profile philanderer would be justified in feeling some degree of comfort in these circumstances. Having been found out, he must no longer bear the fear of discovery, which in Jackson’s case may have been profound, as it is reported that this man of the cloth has long been a man of the sheets, too. Coming clean brings peace of mind, and peace of mind is one of the Good Lord’s greater gifts.
