Fellow Democratic Illinois Rep. Danny Davis says that while Jackson faces mounting problems, it's hard to believe his long-time friend would have engaged in such behavior. Jackson is accused of purchasing a $40,000 Rolex and redecorating his home with campaign finances.

"If he were functioning not in an altered mental or emotional state, he would not have committed those acts," Davis says. "They don't seem like something that a rational Jesse Jackson would have been engaged in. That's not the person I knew."

Democratic Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin has said he'd like to see Jackson come forward and lay out a plan for when he will return to serve his constituents.

"While behind bars, I promise to stay away from other women."

What kind of damned idiot would spout such crap?

You don’t have to be crazy to use other people’s money to buy a Rolex, you just have to be a POS like Jesse Jackass Jr.

""They have had such high hopes, and of course Rep. Jackson has amassed a great deal of seniority, and has won placement for very strategic committee assignments, and all of that plays into their hopes that he will be able to bring the bacon home.""

'nuff said.

There is going to be a MASSIVE movement by the “minorities” to flood the senate and congress with phone calls; to notify their churches and speak out and a massive media push to implement the redistribution of wealth.

They ought to let Jesse, Sr., have the little House seat. He can say again and again, “Up with hope, down with dope.”
