Hardly.

This writer is delusional.
Jackson 1 and Jackson 2 are only good at squeezing other peoples´ money and spending it.

He´s every bit as (un)qualified as barry, with the same criminal mindset.

It is a sign of the times that people feel that the Jacksons will not serve any prison time or receive any other significant punishment. It is the way the justice system shows its concern for diversity.

That´s like calling the kettle black.

I bought my own Rolex with my own money. I feel great about that. But, I am not a black democrat or I wouldn´t have wasted the money.

This is the same Avlon who writes for the Daily Beast? He might have a bit of a point. JJJ had powerful connections who could have gotten him to a candidacy, I think, and Jackson is plenty smart. But, he doesn´t have the exotic background that Obama has. I think Obama dazzled voters. I don´t believe Jesse, Jr. could have don that. In addition, everything I have read about the Jackson family indicates that Jesse, Sr., blocked Jr. everywhere he could, maybe out of jealousy.

#4, they will serve time. He will serve more, buut she will get farrr less than she should. He will use his "mental health" issues to lessen his sentence.

It is a sad, and dangerous, reality that this article could be written. Now we are looking at skin color (Rubio is lined up). What next? Shoe size, height, eye color, big ears?

Obama may have beaten Jesse Jackson Jr. to the White House, but it looks like JJ Jr. might beat Obama to the Big House.

jackson jr is scum....period...obama....same kettle of fish

If anybody, ANYBODY, had give a tenth part of the scrutiny given to Jesse Junior, to Bronco Bama, the Great Imposter would not be squatting in the White Hut today. Bronco Bama is WAY dirtier than Jackson ever was, but some highly placed people have been opening doors and quieting eruptions for both Bronco and Muchelle for a long time now, and they are not about to lose their investment.

Bronco should never have won that first election to the Illinois Senate (in which all his challengers were somehow "disqualified", leaving him essentially unapposed), and for sure not the seat in the US Senate. He has, in fact, never fairly won anything in his life, wouldn´t know how. His victories have all come at the expense of his rivals for office, who were subjected to perhaps the most underhanded kinds of character assassinations and what would be actionable slanders in any other venue, with a great deal of opposition research being expended on what are really trivial matters, but blown up vastly out of proportion.

This is all much sleazier than anything the Clintons ever attempted. And Lord knows, that pair were masters at avoiding culpability in ANYTHING.

1. This sort of thing didn´t just pop up. You can be pretty confident they´ve both been crooks a long time. And -- JJ Sr. never knew anything?

2. What they spent the stolen money on is quite revealing of their "values" and "tastes," too. Yuck.

FTA: Working in cahoots with his wife, Sandi — until recently a Chicago alderman — the Jackson duo managed to enrich themselves off campaign funds with an evident weakness for luxury items....

a. Calling their loot collection "luxury items" is w-a-a-a-y-y beyond generous.
b. Linguistic question: since "chairman" must be expunged in favor of "chair" [but I think there´s some furniture that goes by that name already?], doesn´t that make Sandi an "alder"?

FTA: Despite earning a combined taxpayer-subsidised salary of more than $250,000 a year, 47-year-old Jackson jnr and his wife started dipping into campaign coffers....

Well, first, their pay isn´t "subsidized," but entirely paid by taxpayers. Then, let´s say it´s "paid," not "earned." And also let´s remember all the expenses that taxpayers are also stuck paying. And come on -- "dipping"? And why isn´t the estimated loot total mentioned?

FTA: Sandi’s political consultancy received more than $250,000 from her husband’s congressional campaigns over the past decade.

No doubt 100% above-board. No doubt.

I can´t afford a Rolex so I wear a Timex. It keeps good enough time for me. Any bets on JJJr ever seeing the inside of a jail cell for more than 24 hours?

After embracing the radical chic of the 1970s and establishing his reputation as one of the most powerful orators in the country...

Oh, pleeze. That´s just damn funny. Half the time ol´ love chile-jesse sounds like he´s got a mouth full of horse apples.

Tim Conway Jr. has a weekly feature on his KFI radio show called "What The Hell Did jesse jackson Say?" every Thursday night at 80 left coast time. Tim plays a short clip of unintelligible jesse garbage, and then people call, text and tweet their best guesses as to what he said. It´s really funny.

One of the most powerful orators in the country, indeed.

Kwami Kilpatrick, Rod Blogdovich and Ray Nagin are mentioned as being in trouble for corruption, but no identifying them as Democrats. No citing of Jesse jr or Jesse sr. or Sandi Jackson being Dems either. That´s six corrupt Dems in one article who escaped having their party identified.

Google "Jesse Jackson Spitting" and learn what a family he was brought up in. His father was a preacher but when he was going to school, he workd in a restaurant where he would SPIT in the food of white customers. This he would brag about as giving him gratification!!!

No wonder Jr turned out like he did!!!

He must have really P´d off somebody very powerful to get nailed. This is chump change for a black Democrat.

My Rolex and other fancyass Swiss watches are all parked while I enjoy the most accurate and durable timepiece this watchfreak ever owned; my Seiko Kinetic...

#19 - I´d say yer right. Remember when Triple J´s daddy said he wanted to cut the Obamboozler´s nuts off?
Thar ya go...

#7, the only person Zero dazzled when he looked in the mirror! Bottom feeders, all of them.

Is this a joke?
