Rep. Jesse Jackson owes us an explanation
Chicago Sun Times ^ | July 7, 2012 | PHIL KADNER

............Since June 10, he has been suffering from “exhaustion” according to his staff and has been unable to fulfill his duties as a representative.

In an update on his condition, his press spokesman this week issued a news release stating:

“Congressman Jackson’s medical condition is more serious than we thought and initially believed. Recently, we have been made aware that he has grappled with certain physical and emotional ailments privately for a long period of time.

“At present, he is undergoing further evaluation and treatment at an in-patient facility. According to the preliminary diagnosis from his doctors, Congressman Jackson will need to receive extended in-patient treatment as well as continuing medical treatment thereafter.”

Jackson’s congressional staff and family have refused to release any further details about his medical condition, or where he is being treated. A source told me Jackson had been unable to sleep for an extended period of time. I was also told that he is not being treated in the Chicago metropolitan area.

And even some of his closest staff members, I have been informed, have not been in contact with him.

Jackson, who is also the focus of a congressional ethics investigation, has been under constant emotional and mental pressure for three years.

Speculation about his condition and whereabouts is widespread but senseless because nobody who really knows anything is talking.

But the congressman’s family owes the people who have supported Jackson, the voters, more detail.

The statement that his condition is worse than originally thought and the news that he will need extended medical treatment later raise legitimate questions about his ability to represent his district during another term.............

Triple J is suffering from Triple B Disease: Blondes, Budweiser, and Blago. It may be rooted in BS: Barack’s Seat.

"...he has grappled with certain physical and emotional ailments privately for a long period of time."

Physical: (Read falls down creating injuries due to drinking booze everyday.)

Emotional: (Read: constant uppers and downers from using various drugs.)

Funny how certain media buzz words are taking on truthful definitions these days.

It's RACIST to inquire about the well-being of Jesse Jr, or for that matter, any ‘person of color,’

If Jackson is now suffering from a psychotic illness, his advisors should investigate the possibility that someone might have put something into his drink.

Traditionally, when a PR spokesperson claims that their client is being treated for “exhaustion,” it means that they are withdrawing from cocaine and/or heroin.

Translation: Mr. Jackson will be medically unavailable to face any criminal charges—EVER.
