He spoke to the Chicago Tribune by telephone. The congressman could not be reached for confirmation. Boehner´s office also could not be immediately reached for comment. Check back for details.

Who´s surprised? The racialist zombies of his district put him back in office even though no one has seen him in months and months. He couldn´t buy a Senate seat, but I´d be willing to bet that he´s selling a House seat.

That´s not the entire article. It´s now nine paragraphs long.

Appoint Blago to finish his term. There´s nothing in the Constitution to prevent it.

Details will emerge.

Unless Holder and Obama - for unknown reasons - really want him ruined he will get a great deal.

And the Ethics Committee? Real tigers they are. But you never know. And it would be fun to watch the CBC rant and rave if the EC actually punished Jackson.

Not to worry, they´ll find someone just as debauched to take his place.

He knew he was going to resign, why run again ? To assure another dem for the position ?

Will he now be subjected to 0bamacare, or does he still get the exemption for members of Congress?

Guess this means "Revrun Juh-ack-sun´s" spawn is financially secure for life at taxpayers´ expense. In the last week or so, he said he wouldn´t resign unless he was promised a life-long Congressional pension.

Expel him and strip him of all future beneftis "for cause."

This [pre-deleted] stole months of paychecks and defrauded his district, his state, and the nation by keeping his seat while performing none of its duties, and by going underground.

Expel him.

Reminds me of the old Earl Butz joke. Now, Jackson has all three: Tight p**sy, loose shoes and a warm place to take a crap.

Done and done.

Jesse Jackson, Jr. said he would resign if he could get disability payments; that would be on top of his very generous government pension, I presume. What a dirtbag.

Jesse Jackson Jr. has been missing in action for some time now, this only makes it official.

Didn´t he just get re-elected to his seat? What´s up with THAT campaign? If he was just going to resign anyway, why did he even run?

Just drop a net over the next person walking down the street, ship him (or her) off to Washington, and let that individual keep the seat warm.

Little Racist, Jr. was doing a good job wasting a Democrat seat in the House. I was kind of hoping he would continue to waste his seat and his vote as he continued his role of the Howard Hughes of the Chicago Democrat Party. But he kept the Obamaphones and EBT cards flowing to his ghetto slaves, so they returned him back into office with a healthy margin.

The new term hasn´t started, can´t the poor guy who ran against him win thevseat by default? It doesn ´t seem right to pass over a candidate at least some people voted for in order to install someone no one voted for. I know that would involve integretity, but can´t a citizen dream?

Obama nominates Nuland for
assistant secretary of state

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

America´s 100 million cable and satellite subscribers are forced to pay ever-higher bills for a growing number of channels they do not watch. The American people are being ripped off. Meanwhile, services such as iTunes and Netflix have led a revolution in how consumers purchase and experience music and video entertainment. They have upended entire industries to allow consumers to buy digital content where they want, when they want. Amid all this change, two entrenched interests — the cable television and video programming industries — have teamed up to use federal regulations to stack the deck against consumers.

Mark Levin Tears Into Obama: ‘Flat-

Nothing About IRS Targeting

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

President Obama is a little uneasy with the way journalists have been dragged into the Justice Department’s aggressive pursuit of national security leak investigations. In fact, he has ordered Attorney General Eric Holder to conduct a 45-day review of the department’s guidelines on the issue. That bit of news was buried in the middle of the president’s hourlong speech today at National Defense University. “Journalists should not be at legal risk for doing their jobs,” President Obama said. “Our focus must be on those who break the law.” And then the news: “I have raised these issues with

Anthony Weiner’s nascent mayoral campaign is off to a rough start. Weiner made his candidacy for mayor of New York official in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, and since then there’s no indication that the process is going particularly well. The former rising star in the Democratic Party can’t shake the scandal that forced him to resign from Congress, and he may be throwing fuel on the fire. Asked this morning whether there was another shoe to drop in the sextweeting scandal that ousted him, Weiner admitted, Well, yeah.

White House press secretary Jay Carney could only explain his problems on Wednesday by telling reporters, "[T]here are a lot of you, and you´re good at your jobs and you´re smart." As easy as it might be for Carney to lob such insincere praise at former journalistic colleagues, such posterior osculations must be embarrassing for a White House so accustomed to having the press in its back pocket. Carney´s job has become more difficult in the past two weeks. Where his explanations were accepted at face value in the past, he is now met with deep skepticism. Suddenly, the

WASHINGTON – First she refused to testify. Now Lois Lerner, the IRS official at the center of the agency scandal, is refusing to resign, according to a top Republican senator. Sources confirmed to Fox News earlier Thursday that Lerner, the head of the IRS division that oversaw the unit targeting conservative groups, had been placed on administrative leave, with pay. But Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, claimed she was only put in that status after refusing to step down. He said the commissioner was in his right to demand her resignation, and said taxpayers

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”
