"Mr. Burkle would be proud if that were the case," Michael Sitrick, the spokesman, wrote in an e-mail. "Mr. Jackson is a good friend and has a great track record. Mr. Jackson met Mr. Busch at Mr. Burkle's house. A year later, Mr. Jackson purchased a distributorship in Chicago. He bought one of the worst performing distributorships and turned it around. Mr. Burkle would be proud to invest with Mr. Jackson but has never had the opportunity to do so."
You'd have to work real hard to lose money selling Budweiser. These distributorships should be licensed by the Treasury Dept. because they make so much money. Another Jackson shakedown.
What time period was that and what is the source of the snip? In looking at some old articles on the L.A. Riots, it looks like Burkle hooked up with the LA's African Methodist Episcopal Church (May 1992). I'm wondering if that is also when he hooked up with Jesse.
