Congressmen: Jackson Jr. suffering tremendously
Associated Press
3:54 p.m. CST, November 24, 2012

**SNIP**

After Saturday's service, Davis and Rush said they have not seen Jackson and don't know where he is. But they said they understand why he has not yet spoken publicly about his resignation.

"He can't take the pressure," Rush said.

Rush said when he and Davis visited with Jackson a few weeks ago, the 47-year-old son of a civil rights icon broke down in tears several times. They said they don't want others to see him that way.

"He's suffering under a tremendous, tremendous toil," Rush said. "And chief among that toil is he says he does not want to be an embarrassment to his children, to his family, to the people of the 2nd congressional district ... That's what he is concerned about."

He’s suffering because he got caught.

Too bad scumbag.

The "pressure" is entirely self caused. The "pressure" to do...what, I wonder?

Jesse Junior hasn't accomplished a single useful thing in his entire life.

Well, upon reflection, maybe that was it. Pressure to accomplish a single worthwhile thing. And he couldn't figure out how to do it...

Not at all; it would be impossible to embarrass the people of the IL 2nd Congressional District. Ditto with many other ill IL districts too!

Vince, my sentiments exactly. But why is he resigning? People in IL would defend him to death. As his ol’ daddy says, “Up with Hope, Down with Dope.”

"He's suffering under a tremendous, tremendous toil," Rush said.

Sheeeeyit. Somebody don't know the meaning of the word "toil".

I'll bet Junior's hands are softer than a roll of Charmin.

Well there’s toil as in extremely wearying work,
and then there’s toil as in “toils and snares” (cf. Amazing Grace). (That sense means trap.)

I guess he’s suffering under a trap. One he made for himself.

..."he says he does not want to be an embarrassment to his children, to his family, to the people of the 2nd congressional district ... That's what he is concerned about."

First, it's too late - - that assclown has been an embarrassment for at least a decade.
Second, this crocodile-tear charade to get sympathy and a lenient sentence better not work.

So let’s lay this out, as it should be.

He’s a whining, crying, bedwetting pu**y who wasn’t crowned as “The Next Big Black Thing”....so he assumed the fetal position.

Screw him, his dad, the whole lot of ‘em. Blacks in this country had best wake their sorry asses up. They’re being led down the primrose path by snake-oil salesmen....and have been for decades. Pawns. Tools.

How does it feel, black America? To be treated like idiots.....and better yet, to respond exactly as THEY want?

Morons, all. God help us.

I figure if the little sheyit had been aiming and been promised the White Hut, then his breakdown may have been for real. Imagine Jesse Jr / Chelsea Hubbell 2016!

The “Congressman” on the left looks like Fred Sanford ... and he’s wearing a T shirt under his jacket!

he does not want to be an embarrassment to his children...

The Japanese might be able to suggest an honorable way to end this ordeal.

Hmmm, let me get this straight. Did he choose to be a politician first or to be black?

Black + supposed mental illness (I’m sure backdated to before said crimes occurred) = somehow we’ll be paying him and no charges will ever be brought. He will miraculously recover without medication or therapy. Do we really even KNOW he’s being treated for anything? If you’re being treated at the Mayo clinic they usually don’t let you out just whenever you feel like it to go drinking with friends and women that aren’t your wife.
