Jesse Jackson Jr. in Mayo Clinic being treated for depression (found him for sure this time)
Fox News ^ | July 27, 2012

Illinois Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr., whose whereabouts haven't been disclosed since he mysteriously took a medical leave several weeks ago, is being treated for depression at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., according to a statement Friday from the hospital.

Jackson is undergoing an extensive inpatient evaluation for depression and for gastrointestinal issues, according to the statement, which also provided the first details about his medical condition. But it provided no details about where the congressman, the son of civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, had previously been staying.

The timing of [Jackson's] leave has raised questions, in part because Jackson is facing an ethics investigation in the U.S. House connected to imprisoned former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

The ham of mine is now at the Mayo ... and will stay there until he dries out ... sobers up ... and gets over his sour mood caused by those #*$%& Pubs investigating him for trying to buy a senate seat.

Those symptoms indicate a clear cut case of CRI, a “Cranial-Rectal Inversion”.

Despite our political and social differences, I believe one MUST exhibit compassion for another’s personal plight. As an elected representative, however, that individual must consider his obligations to his constituents...

It’s very serious when someone is put in a mental hospital for so long. I know he’s a flaming racist liberal, a chip off shake’em down Jesse’s block, but I feel bad for him. He’s needs to get well soon, so I can pick on him again.

Connect them all with Michael Jackson and we will get a TV series.

Jesse jr. apparently had a total nervous breakdown and almost surely a suicide attempt. His problem is very serious given that he is in the Mayo clinic and has been out of sight for a long time.

On a personal level I wish him well and a full recovery. As a public matter he has no business being an elected legislator with responsibilities ranging from taxing and spending laws to war resolutions. Then again, he is a democrat...

Churchill’s black dog

“I don’t like standing near the edge of a platform when an express train is passing through. I like to stand right back and if possible get a pillar between me and the train. I don’t like to stand by the side of a ship and look down into the water. A second’s action would end everything. A few drops of desperation.” - Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

Churchill made frequent references to his depression, which he called his “black dog”.

My oldest son is sometimes stricken with inexplicable bouts of depression to the point of being disabling. Mood elevators offer some relief.

There is heavy smoke with Young Jesse and trying to buy the senate seat and his involvement with Blagojevich. The fire is smoldering but given that it is Chicago and Jesse sr. is very powerful there, I don’t see an indictment for Young Jesse.

I think his breakdown, likely suicide attempt are real. I think he realizes he is only a shadow of his corrupt father and not up to life in the major leagues of political corruption.

Just knowing that you are a “Jackson” is enough of a reason to go crazy. Like father (forget the other son), like son.

I don't get what Mayo has to do with it, but that's just me!
