Jesse Jackson Admits Affair, Illegitimate Child (Rush's Accusers Part 4 of 5)
ABC News ^

Posted on 10/14/2009 7:53:21 PM PDT by Recovering_Democrat

Moving to pre-empt a tabloid newspaper report, the Rev. Jesse Jackson this morning released a statement admitting he had an extramarital affair that resulted in a daughter who is now 20 months old.

"This is no time for evasions, denials or alibis," said the Baptist minister and former aide to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. "I fully accept responsibility and I am truly sorry for my actions."

Had Affair as He Counseled Clinton

The age of the daughter indicates Jackson, 59, was likely having the affair with Karin Stanford, a 39-year-old worker at his Rainbow/PUSH Coalition office in Washington, even as he counseled President Clinton after public revelations of an affair with Monica Lewinsky, an intern at the White House.

Here is the RICH part:

Remember that he had been hailed to the WH to serve as SPIRITUAL ADVISOR to Bill? Well the assistant that Jesse brought with him was cooking his bun in her oven RIGHT THERE in the WH..!

He was comforting the prez at the same time he was DOING THE SAME THING..!

That is sooooo Jesse..!!!

Forgot to add: Jesse wanted to hush her up (as she’d be mother to his own child) so he embezzled a bunch of Rainbow-PUSH money and bought her a HOUSE..! And some other stuff...it’s been awhile...

After all, there'll undoubtedly be plenty more times for all of that.

"I fully accept responsibility and I am truly sorry for my actions."
Load standard liberal-weasel boiler-plate apology; Copy/Paste into speech generator; execute.

Didn’t Rev. Jesse Jackson hire a convicted pedophile. Somebody Clinton pardoned? And did he ever release his financial records?

It was an affair that lasted four-and-a-half years: http://www.papillonsartpalace.com/jacksons.htm.

Yea, Jesse - you were only sorry because you got caught. You would have probably continued to commit adultery if you had not been caught. Go ahead, be a man, admit it.
