On the eave of the biggest rush to run for Chicago Mayor in recent memory, Jesse Jackson, Jr. has been hit with more allegations of being involved in a scheme to buy a Senate seat from disgraced Gov. Rod Blagojevich. Additionally, there is a hint that Jackson was involved with a woman flown several times to Chicago by a campaign contributor.
An Indian-American businessman has told federal authorities that he was asked by Congressman Jackson to begin raising money for Rod Blagojevich so that Blago might appoint Jackson to the open Senate seat that Obama vacated when he took the White House in 2008.
Shortly after Blagojevichs arrest on corruption charges in December 2008, the Chicago Tribune reported that FBI agents went to the Oak Brook home of Indian-American businessman, Raghuveer P. Nayak. The Tribune reported Nayak hosted an Oct. 31, 2008 luncheon where he discussed raising $1 million for Blagojevich to help persuade the governor to choose Jackson. The congressman's brother Jonathan appeared at a Nayak-sponsored fundraiser for the governor three days before Blagojevich was arrested.There is also an affair broadly hinted at between the Congressman and a woman named Giovanna Huidobro, an affair that Jackson has asked the media to ignore so as to "respect" his "private" problem between he and his wife.
The woman is said to be a "restaurant hostess" but the picture that is being used by the media looks suspiciously like a swimsuit model seen on the CincoUno.com website.

Is Jr. out of the race now?

Can’t be a real Chicago thug politician without the dirt, right?
More importantly - did he dabble in dumb stuff in high school?

Humm, perhaps he would be a willing witness in the trial of a certain former Illinois politician?
That's so kind, considerate and touching of the Democrat Party media. They have so much respect and concern for their leftist Democrat Party pets.
Well Rhambo wants it. So they want prosecute Jr, just beat him over and over in the media though with the details of his corruption.
Then again, there’s always Christine O Donnell...
More evidence surfaces that son of famous theiving hustler is also a theiving hustler.
No $h!+?
Pretty SURE that Rahm, the ballet dancer, doesn't have a "girlfriend" problem. He has obviously sicced the media on JJJ!!
Are you kidding?
He will just say it was part of his “Hispanic voter outreach” program, part of Operation Push It In There”!
Interesting that this is coming out as Rahm is getting ready to jump into the race.
Like father,
like son...
That should be between him and his wife.
You gotta love this Chicago political hit on one of their own, probably at the hidden hands of Rahm.
“Are you kidding? Accusations like this only serve to strengthen and impress his rat base.”
Unfortunately, you are right all too often!
“More importantly - did he dabble in dumb stuff in high school?”
LOL, yeah we KNOW how bad dabbling is, eh?
“Well Rhambo wants it. So they want prosecute Jr, just beat him over and over in the media though with the details of his corruption.”
I know a lot of people are cynically saying that, but I don;t see Rham involved in this at all.
Now, I'm under no illusions. It's still one of the most heavily RAT districts in the nation... Republicans rarely get over 12% in IL-2. But in this election climate and JJJ's nonstop scandals... well... you never know...
