Now we know what made him so "sick"'.The rotten apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Bipolar...indeed.

How does one properly use campaign funds to decorate one's residence? obama wants to know.

#2 just asked the rhetorical question of the day, IMHO. Bravo!!

Given his bizarre behavior, I suspect he also improperly used campaign funds to decorate the inside of his nose.

The silence from the Rev. Jesse Jackson has been noticeably loud. No doubt, he worries that his personal scams might also come under scrutiny. It's easy to imagine that Jr.'s misdeeds were guided by his father, well-known racist rabble-rouser and extortionist.

A crooked politician in Chicago? I just can
t believe it. When you are of the entitled race AND have control of the cookie jar, life is good.

Like Father, Like Son. Jessee made a very lucrative career out of shaking down people, businesses and organizations, big and small. How much of a humnitarian would he have been were there not great material (and power) rewards in the game for him? Now he's got his son in serious trouble. Content of one's character indeed.

However, I can not think of a better candidate for his constituency. He's perfect!

Naw Wilma . . . say it ain't so. Jackson, a politician, using funds improperly?? Especially not Jackson . . . couldn't be! S/O

OT and JFY, Revrum Jessah allowed The Messiah to speak before his Rainbow Coalition every week for a year before he ran for president so he could learn how to 'speak black.'

Don't all politicians improperly use campaigne money. That's not news. Is there something else?

AND -- the apple doesn't fall to far from the tree, i.e. the revrump jessie jackson sr.....

sr. has been scammmmmming the citizens of Illinois for years. His other son as a "special" job with Budweiser that was "engineered/coerced" by his father....

Why the revrump jessie jackson sr. isn't even a Reverend. Some libbies/leftie/elite think tank "gave" him the title....

Liar/Liar -- pants on fire..... How's the "love child" in California doing -- sr.? Shades of Edwards...

AND now WE find out jessie jackson jr. has a blonde on the side who's been enjoying the taxpayer's money as well. Bi/Polar indeed.....more like hiding....

LZK

File under "Duh"

Oh, yet another brother for Obama to add to the thousands already on his pardon list.

No problem here. After he cashes out, a smart move would be to set up residence in Detroit, another bastion of democratic power over decades.

Why put yourself in a "murdering" environment like Chicago, where 5 were killed this weekend and 25 injured by violence...whoops, wait a minute, that's his home city and it too has been run by democrats for decades.

Maybe a pattern might emerge...but not enough for the voters to change their perspectives.

Mommy will come, mommy will come!

Recall at least a decade ago the reverend jackson shook down Anheiser Busch. He obtained the largest AB distributorship in Chicago with gross sales of $30 million a year for two of his sons who has no experience in the beer business. Jackson won out over all bidders----some of which had worked for the company for decades. The Jackson klan is a criminal enterprise.

Didn't Rostenkowski, his predecessor, get caught for the same thing and served time? I can't wait until the new owners of Budweiser cancels his control of the Chicago markets.

I hope the people who actually made the mistake of donating to his campaign can be happy knowing what their hard-earned money paid for.

Excuse the second post and sorry about the typo. . Jackson's sons Had no experience in the beer business.

It's worth it to read the comment after the article from "paddy Ian timotee o'reilly." It is the 4th or 5th from the top. There is no chance you can make this stuff up.

The only color the Jacksons ever cared about is green.

I have read that Michelle was best friends when growing up with the Jackson daughter and was in their home all the time. Have the Obamas expressed sorrow, offered prayers to Allah or said anything about presumed close friend of the family Jesse Jr. and his precarious predicament? Hmm.

I guess my first hunch was right. He was hiding out in the hospital.

He might have thought (assuming he's guilty) that he'd get away with it because his father has gotten away with being a crook and a extortionist for years. But, as Miss Ann Coulter writes, white America has gotten over all this guilt. What Jackson Sr. could get away with, Jackson Jr. can't.

The article mentioned his wife is an alderman in Chicago and he represents a district in Chicago, BUT, they live in D.C. and send their children to a private school?

What the devil is up with that?

I wonder how many Chicago cops Emanuel has guarding this turkey?

I read the Wall Street Journal piece with my breakfast. Jackson's attorneys asked the Justice Department to delay a possible indictment until after the election. The Justice Department has not commented.

Somebody should check those drapes for stashes of cash sewn inside, maybe? Hmmmm.... These people are such greedy lowlifes. Shaking my head.

What is the world coming to? I have never heard of such a thing. Could it be true?

From the video...."believe Jackson will be reelected next month based on his party affiliation"

sickening

Shocking allegation. Don't they know Jackson Jr. is not a well man? Give him a break. /s

No doubt he did much more with cash that wasn't his to spend. Keep Digging.

Bipolar: Spends half his time stealing money and the other half spending it. Recheck into rehab, quick!

There's nothing wrong with Jackson: his behavior is quite normal.

Yes! Yes, he misused campaign funds. So? Whatcha gonna do about it? Arrest him? I don't think so.

See, here is the way it works: He's black and he's a Democrat politician, in case no one important has noticed. That's a free license to do what ever he wants to do. It means the laws of the land are not applicable to him or anyone else who is in his same class in our society (like, well, for example, Øbama. So just get over it!

And ... it matters not at all to the media nor to 47% of the voting public

What #2 said!!

Just another angry black male who made his bones whining about white people, but going after the white women on the side. What a hypcrite!

So, J3, was the zebra furniture and the lionhead rug in front of the fireplace worth it? I think we are soon going to see the end of a crime dynasty here. The Chicago machine likes crooked people but they have no use for stupid people.

A real alcoholic and drug addict ALWAYS has a great excuse for breaking laws. In this case Junior's enabling codependent family is making all of the excuses for him. Next they will annonce he is goiong to drug and alcohol rehab and show up at the Betty Ford Center for a 90 day stay with meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous and counseling. Then his family will follow up after 30 days and they can go to Al-Anon Family group meetings. Ah yes a family in recovery is a beautiful thing. In their case it won't happen. They are all in serious denial and that this will all just go away soon.

Maybe he will join his uncle Noah in that North Carolina jail. Uncle Noah is Sr.'s half brother (don't we all have half brothers and sisters) doing life for a couple of murders. etc.

Expel him from the House.

Seize all his House office records.

What the problem is? Just redistributing some of the wealth...

No, #11, all politicians do not improperly use campaign money. Many/most Republicans do not and even a few Dims do not (perhaps those too under-endowed in brains to take advantage of the corruption structure built into their party, but they are not completely monolithic especially when you get down to the local level).

I know, it's easy to fall prey to the mainstream media's backup meme - every time a Dim is caught doing anything (pretty much daily) they say both sides do it, as if that were true. It is not.

And #34 seems to be fond of yet another meme, on multiple threads...

IMHO we don't need either of these memes, we need to fight to take all three branches of government on November 6 with our excellent top of ticket and many great candidates. No more Eeyore!

Agree with #33. Because of his skin color he will be reelected. Too bad the worst racism is practiced by minorities. To their own detriment.

1) He will still be reelected. 2) He will still be welcomed by the Congressional Black Caucus. 3) If he's actually thrown out of Congress it will be deemed by the previous to be 'racism.'

these donks are such cheap-dastards, and--with bad taste. And who decorates with drapes anymore?The spend this money and what would it cost them out-of-pocket?
$6,000 for the job and the drapes? maybe a few hundred.

I thought the Chicago paper had reported that the feds were investigating illegal use of his congressional office funds for remodeling/redecorating his home. I suppose he's a grateful for both hands. Easier to dip into multiple cookie jars that way.

A Jackson being 'investigated'? Not possible! All he did copy Daddy dearest!

The fact that they're selling their "D.C. Home" smells to me like there is a divorce in the offing. Coupled with the news that JJJ has been seen in a beer bar in Chicongo on two nights with two different women.

This is too funny. A couple of years ago, a home renovation show on HGTV featured a very nice home which the owners sought to renovate. The host went over the plans, and the estimated renovation cost was something like $250,000. The homeowner was Jesse Jackson, Jr., but this was his house in Chicago.

Apparently, the Jacksons have expensive taste.

#15 shocks with the realization that Obama's pardon list will exceed Slick Willie's pardon criminal doper list by the THOUSANDS, all those covert organizations, and probably half the illrgal aliens, too.

So, JJJ is probably thinking, how did Coleman Young and Kwame Kilpatrick do this in Detroit for decades, while I get busted for it. The world is unfair.

So now we know. Becoming bipolar is the result of interior decorating with stolen money. Maybe this monumental loser and son of a bigger loser has done the medical world a favor. Now...if he'll just go away, anywhere, and take daddy with him.

He just doesn't know where to shop for those silky window treatments.

Admittedly, our decor planning doesn't come w/ any possible after-hours consults in bars, or home delivery of chemical substances. Jes-sayin...with /s/ button on.

#51, don't forget about the occupants of Gitmo. They may get a presidential pardon as well. He did promise to close it down. That is one way to do it.
