Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) told reporters today that he believes Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.) needs to explain to voters what kind of ailment he is suffering from “soon.”

I'm no doctor, but seems to me the last time I herd him speak it was obvious he was suffering from a case of stupid.
Sadly, there is no cure.

What is a Freshman Dem seat in the minority worth ? Granted you may have it for life and some day (God forbid!) Democrats will have the house.

He’s alerigic to grand juries, breaks out in hives when he sees a subpeona and is positively phobic about the inside of a court room.
