Thousands are gathered in Washington, D.C., today for an Al Sharpton-organized rally and march. As the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech draws near, they’re descending on the National Mall to “turn the heat up on voter rights, on jobs and on justice.”
But Rev. Jesse Jackson had a bit of ice-cold water tossed on him while he was turning up that heat.
