I did not write it, but thought is was amusing...
Jesse Jackson, while visiting a primary school class, found himself in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings.
The teacher asks the Rev. Jackson if he would like to lead the discussion on the word "tragedy."
The illustrious leader asks the class for an example of a "tragedy."
One little boy stood up and offered: "If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a runaway tractor comes along and knocks him dead, that would be a tragedy."
"No," says the great Jesse Jackson, "that would be an accident."
A little girl raised her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy."
"I'm afraid not," explains the exalted spiritual leader.
"That's what we would call a great loss."
The room goes silent.
No other children volunteer.
Rev. Jackson searches the room.
"Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?"Finally at the back of the room a small boy raises his hand.
In a quiet voice he says: "If a plane carrying the Rev. Jackson were struck by a missile and blown to smithereens that would be a tragedy."
"Fantastic!" exclaims Jackson , "That's right. And can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?"
"Well," says the boy, "it sure as hell wouldn't be a great loss, and it probably wouldn't be an accident either."
oh ya out of the mouths of babes!
One has to wonder why Rush refers to Nagin as “School Bus" when it was actually Jesse that bussed in 200 folks who were homeless, jobless and had never stepped foot in New Orleans before. This was Jesse’s helpful gesture to bring back displaced New Orleans residents. Yup thanks Jesse! Great Move!
I know why Rush calls Nagin 'School bus', I am just wondering why he does not have a nick name for Jesse?
Ps thanks wishin' for supplying the material and here is to wishing you will do the next post.

You're welcome raspootin! Yeah, I'll try really hard this weekend to come up with something to say...
Hope you have a good weekend.
He does, he calls Jesse "that damn negro."
I would love to help you out and let you know what Rush says, but that would mean having to actively seek out something Limbaugh has to say. Thus, you're on your own.
I listen to WWL which streams Nationwide.
At first they decided to repeat previous stories then caved into the Rush syndication.
I listen simply as it is 90% a radio station of local interest.
I would never suggest listening to Rush unless, Ya want to check it out for argument, discussion or simply knowing what he says and how he says it before you engage in the above.
Rush is too much of a “pussy” "cat?"
to call/refer to anyone with a name that he did not think up on his own.
or there in the people who produce his show...
Deep.
