Video: Jesse Jackson Jr. says iPad is a Job Killer

This makes for a nice little precursor to this week's Rod Blagojevich retrial. If there's one thing we learned from the first trial, it's that Jesse Jackson, Jr. is a 'bad guy.' I had no idea he was this bad. In the world of JJJ, the iPad is a job killer because it puts books in digital format. He bemoans the loss of bookstores, publishers, and librarian jobs because technology is able to make books paperless. What a visionary. Then, shockingly, he decries the reduction in paper. Uh, wait a minute. I thought Jesse played to the eco-wacko crowd, which is full of tree huggers.

Hypocrisy alert: Note that JJJ admits to buying an iPad for himself.

JJJ does stumble across one good point and if it had been the focus of his speech, he might have been onto something. Specifically, he highlights the fact that the iPad is made in China but he doesn't explain why. Perhaps the answer to that question involves the government body to which he belongs.

I believe we've come fool circle.



JJJ is lucky these wackos live in North Carolina or he would certainly lose their vote.
