Dona Ei Pacem

It's been a long time since I've posted an obit, but the one of John Simon moved me. Read and reflect.

"I Want to Cut His Nuts Off"

I've been struggling to parse this gnomic utterance, and as near as I can make out, what the Rev. Jesse was expressing was this:

He wishes to discourage members of Move On and similar fringe liberals from interfering with Sen. Obama's move to center; and he proposes to do so by refusing to acknowledge them when he meets them in public.

If anyone has a more likely interpretation, I'd be interested to hear it.
