WHAT? Eric Holder's Justice Department went after Jesse Jackson, Jr. for corruption? A black Democrat? I'm truly shocked to hear it, sir! And President Obama ALLOWED them to do that? After Jr. stood up for Barack when Jesse Sr. wanted to cut his nuts off? I just can't believe such an absence of nepotism and favoritism could possibly be found in the Obama administration or the Holder Department of Justice.
I'm shocked, shocked.
Not as shocked as I am.
I understand that his wife is under investigation too. And it is rumored that Jesse Jackson Jr. will be sent up the river for 5-8 years,
Siarlys’ sarcasm aside, looks like Lil’ Jesse may be a chip off the old whatever?? Is it hereditary, since both parents look/are pretty sorry?? While Holder, et al, may be able to head off something like a couple of mopes (Black Panthers) intimidating voters, I believe some of this stuff, if it is bad enough, is just simply bound to come out.
I am a little minded of the impeachment of Bill Clinton. Although that bunch of Democratic gutless wonders in the Senate would not do their duty and remove him, he ended up being compelled to settle the Paula Jones case (which the fool should have done in the beginning and saved us all that trouble), swallow a contempt citation from a Federal District Judge and pay a fine, lose his Arkansas law license for a while, and surrender the right to practice law before the U.S. Supreme Court. Not bad for a guy who was acquitted.
