After watching coverage last night of Bill Clinton's meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il, and reading more coverage this morning of his trip to recover two American journalists who had been held prisoner by the megalomaniac's regime, I'm sure I'm in good company when I say I'm concerned about the potential fallout from the whole exercise.

I am speaking, of course, about what the future holds for Jesse Jackson -- because I cannot think of anyone who is less happy with Bill Clinton today than is Jesse Jackson.

First, Clinton beat Jackson to the punch in the presidential sweepstakes, twice winning where Jackson twice had fallen short, and earning for himself the title "America's First Black President."
