The Reverend Jesse Jackson: “Cutter-Off of Nuts” and Italian Wine Lover












The Italian Cellar has discovered through a careful examination of the videotape of Reverend Jesse Jackson’s recent “hot-mic” incident, that not only is he still a relevant political figure, but a lover of Italian wine as well. Let’s take a look at the Fox News transcript of the July 9th episode of "The O'Reilly Factor," in which Reverend Jackson leaned over and whispered to fellow panelist Dr. Reed V. Tuckson, executive vice president and chief of medical affairs for UnitedHealth Group:

Reverend Jesse Jackson: “See, Barack been, um, talking down to black people on this faith based ... I want to cut his nuts off ... Barack ... he's talking down to black people." (Jackson appeared to make a stabbing or cutting motion with his hand as he made the remarks.)

Dr. Reed V. Tuckson: “Jesse, keep it down, the mic’s are on!”

Rev. JJ: “You know what Doc? After the show, what do you say we go out for some deep-dish and some dego red?” (Jackson appeared to make an eating and drinky motion with his hand as he made the remarks.)

Dr. RVT: “Uh, we’ll see Jesse.” (Dr. Tuckson appeared to roll his eyes in disbelief.)

Rev. JJ: “Do you know what word rhymes with Montepulciano?”

Reverend Jackson did not reply to requests for comment by The Italian Cellar.
