Jackson's bizarre, incoherent rant about deconstructing the nature of peanut butter sandwiches.

Overshadowed by the Sharpton and Edwards speeches at the Dem's convention last night, Jessie Jackson's speech may go unnoticed. It was among the most bizarre and incoherent rants, filled with sentence fragments, I have ever heard.

The full speech can be seen here. Here are some samples:

"The Bible speaks of the difficulties of rich young rulers getting into the kingdom," Jackson said. "It is because they are intoxicated by the rarefied air of privilege. (Democratic vice presidential nominee) John Edwards understands using wallpaper for a windbreaker. Peanut butter sandwiches and Kool-Aid. The fear of winter without heat. He grew up on the edge but now stands in the middle of reconciling the breach in our nation."

Lord knows we need a veep who understands the many layers of intricacy of peanut butter sandwiches. What is there to understand? It's peanut butter and bread. Is the choice between chunky and creamy too much to understand? Or the choice between wheat and white?

In 1984 a generation of youth - Mayor Kilpatrick of Detroit, Congressman Harold Ford, Congressman Jackson, Junior, Congressman Lee, Congressman Meeks, Alicia Reece, and Reverend Al Sharpton, Congressman Bobby Rush, and Senator Tony Hill of Florida. Senator Paul Wellstone. Seeds sown are now bearing fruit. The pendulum swings, the morning cometh.

I am reminded of my eighth-grade English teacher, who, when running across a sentence fragment, would write in big red block letters "FRAG".

But a new day is dawning. A new America turning pain into power. Beyond the extreme right wing is a beautiful rainbow of all of God's children. Out of the darkness of the bushes, we see the soaring of an authentic American eagle on the horizon. Hope cometh in the morning.

At about this time, I turned to my mother and asked in all honesty, "Do you have ANY idea what he's talking about?"

She replied, "No, he's just raving."

I said, "Good. I wanted to make sure it wasn't just me."
