Jesse Jackson Jr. made a leap higher than Blake Griffin the other day when he blamed Apple’s iPad for unemployment.

Jackson Jr. proclaimed that “At some point this new device (the iPad) is now probably responsible for eliminating thousands of American jobs. Now Borders is closing stores because, why do you need to go to Borders anymore? Why do you need to go to Barnes & Noble? Buy an iPad and download your newspaper, download your book, download your magazine.”

The funny and thing is, Jackson has an iPad and only a few weeks earlier raved about it. How can he make that argument when one thing has nothing to do with the other?

Is this a case of a representative having nothing else to talk about or does Jackson have a legitimate beef? We think the former. If Jackson can blame the iPad for unemployment, what else can he blame things on? Luckily we found out what else is on Jackson Jr.’s agenda.
