Tentatively calling BS as the old man has never been diagnosed as bipolar. He may, in fact, be a congenital a$$hole however.
I've got "drugs/alcohol" in the "off the deep end" pool.

U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.is undergoing treatment for bipolar II depression at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., the facility said today.
Mayo Clinic said the diagnosis came after extensive evaluation. “Congressman Jackson is responding well to the treatment and regaining his strength,” it said in the statement.
The statement added:
“Many Americans have bipolar disorder. Bipolar II disorder is a treatable condition that affects parts of the brain controlling emotion, thought and drive and is most likely caused by a complex set of genetic and environmental factors. Congressman Jackson underwent bariatric surgery in 2004, specifically a duodenal switch. This type of surgery is increasingly common in the US and can change how the body absorbs food, liquids, vitamins, nutrients and medications.
“Congressman Jackson has asked Mayo Clinic to distribute this information on his behalf. He and his family remain grateful for support and prayers offered and received on his behalf.”
In Washington, Jackson’s spokesman, Frank Watkins, said he had no further details. “The only thing I know is what is in the press release,” Watkins said. “When he went there, we were told the Mayo Clinic would handle all releases related to his health condition.”

I wonder if this Leftist will now get put on the NICS no buy list due to a mental health history thus having his 2nd Ammendment rights revoked. I’m sure he would like to do that to every one else.
He has two personalities, and both are totally screwed up.

The guy needs prayers. No joke. So does this Country, and all its inhabitants.
When it comes to Jesse Jackson Jr bipolar disorder is defined as trying to buy a Senate seat to represent the South or North Poles

More likely, “Son of Douche” disorder.
Stay classy FReepers. He has a mental disorder and he’s getting help.

All of our actions come with a price. We’ll never know, but I believe this is him paying his bill.
I wonder if it genetic....

If Jesse Sr was my dad, it would drive me crazy too.
Yeah. Let’s hope the guy makes a turnaround, but not by his own reason or strength. That’s my prayer, anyway. Happy to let the LORD of heaven and earth sort things out, and will not be surprised in the least if this character enters the Kingdom of Heaven a million souls and more ahead of myself.
