(CNSNews.com) - Vice President Dick Cheney is "the Republican Party's Jesse Jackson," according to Sen. Ernest Hollings, a South Carolina Democrat. In his Jan. 26 column, journalist Robert Novak quotes Sen. Ernest Hollings as making that remark at a Saturday rally for Democrat John Kerry in New Hampshire. According to Novak's column, Kerry has stuck to a "risk-free and symbolic" series of events as he seeks to protect his lead in New Hampshire. Said Novak, "The only mishap in the carefully scripted [Saturday] performance came at the veterans rally when the irrepressible Sen. Ernest F. Hollings of South Carolina, brought in as a Kerry backer, referred to Vice President Dick Cheney as "the Republican Party's Jesse Jackson." Hollings was hustled back to Washington," Novak wrote.
