Jackson Jr's Mom: Congressman absent due to "enormous disappointment" not being senator or mayor
The Chicago Sun-Times ^ | 7/13/2012 | ABDON M. PALLASCH

Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.’s mother, Jacqueline Jackson, told a Rainbow/PUSH conference Friday that her son has suffered years of “enormous disappointment.”

“I’m not ashamed to say ... he thought he was going to be a senator. He thought he was going to have a chance to run for mayor. And young people don’t bounce back from disappointment like me and my husband,” she said.

I hope it’s a drug or alcohol dependency instead of this excuse. At least that way I could have a little sympathy for him.

Cool. hopefully he’ll get suicidally depressed about it and do something to fix the problem. One less of JJ’s spawn in the world is always a good thing.

Bud distributorships pay much better than a poor Senator.

Just ask Dad to shakedown another company.

Something is seriously seriously wrong here.

****

Nothing good ever comes from smoking crack.

Sounds to me like this guy had a breakdown caused by a combination of drug use and mental illness that was enough to require prolonged inpatient treatment.

That’s how most liberals are.

They spew this ridiculous crap with serious faces.
They don’t have a clue how stupid they sound.

Does she mean like when her hubby Jesse knocked up that assistant chick?

——years of disappointment——

What years od disappointment....?

The guy was a united states congressman...one of the most powerful positions one can abtain in life....

If he wasn’t the son of the most prolific race baiting corrupt con man ever to wear the title of Rev. He would be a shoe salesman in the local hood 5 and dime store...

In real life he is a loser self entitled mentally disturbed drug addict...That should be in prison ...

JJJr's wife is on the Chicago City Council. (part of the giant inbred Chicago political mob)

So when he's alone in DC, he has to have somebody to keep him from being lonely:

Giovana Huidobro, a hostess at an upscale DC restaurant

It's tough keeping two women happy....

My Enormous disappointments:

1) I wasn’t a pitcher for the NY Yankees
2) I never got to play basketball for my beloved Syracuse Orangemen.
3) I wasn’t a rock star.
4) I never won the lottery.
5) I never spent a year at the playboy mansion.
6) I missed out buying cheap Dell and Microsoft stock.
7) I look too much like Woody Harrelson.
8) I was like the Judge Reinhold character from Fast Times rather than the Jeff Spicoloi in high school.
9) I’ll never be an astronaut.
10) I never got to vote for Ronald Reagan.

Get over it Jesse Jr. It’s called life. I’m a very happy truck driver with a smokin’ wife from Texas.

Not being a senator or mayor...please... there are MUCH bigger tragedies in this world.

Mrs. Jackson also asked for prayers and privacy. “My son is unwell, and he needs a moment to heal. And I ask you to pray for me without cease. Do for me what I’ve done for you.

IOW, it's all about her. No wonder she has a loser son.
