ELECTION 2008: Will any of the Pres. or Veep candidates fall victim to a "Hot Mike" comment?
WASHINGTON - In a shocking blast at Barack Obama that was caught on tape, the Rev. Jesse Jackson said, "I wanna cut his nuts out."
His whispered comments - accompanied by his hand-miming a cutting motion - were picked up by a live mike before an interview on health care in Fox News Channel's Chicago studio Sunday.
It was not a public speech or a declaration," Jackson said at the news conference, although he admitted his language was "regretfully crude" and "hurtful.
"For any harm or hurt that this hot-mike conversation may have caused, I apologize," Jackson said earlier in a statement.

Here's the quote:
"Mark my words", the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. "It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. Were about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you dont remember anything else I said. Watch, were gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy."
