U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.) said Tuesday he is “deeply sorry” for having “disappointed some supporters” regarding his relationship with a female “social acquaintance.”
But the congressman vowed to stay in office in the wake of a Chicago Sun-Times report that a major political fund-raiser has told federal authorities that Jackson directed him to offer former Gov. Rod Blagojevich millions of dollars in campaign cash in return for an appointment for Jackson to the U.S. Senate, to succeed President Obama.
The allegation by Oak Brook businessman Raghuveer Nayak regarding fund-raising runs counter to public statements Jackson has made as recently as last week that he never authorized any deal to attempt to trade campaign cash for the Senate appointment, which ultimately went not to Jackson but to Sen. Roland Burris.
“The allegations about fund-raising and the Senate seat are not new,” SNIP
“The very idea of raising millions of dollars for a campaign other than my own is preposterous,” Jackson’s statement said. “My interest in the Senate seat was based on years of public service, which I am proud of, not some improper scheme with anyone.” SNIP Sources said Nayak also told authorities that Jackson asked him to pay to fly a Washington, D.C., restaurant hostess named Giovana Huidobro — described as a “social acquaintance” of the Democratic congressman — to Chicago to visit him. Nayak did so twice, according to the sources.
Jackson didn’t address Nayak’s allegation involving payment for those flights, which could raise ethical questions under the U.S. House of Representatives’ gift ban act.
But Jackson acknowledged knowing Huidobro and that the relationship was something he an his wife, Ald. Sandi Jackson, have had to deal with.

Snakes nest of criminals up there. I am sorry is supposed to be punishment for their sins.
Jesse Jr cheating on his wife, who saw that coming?
Pray for America
Just wondering.
The Congressman had Nayak pimping for him?
Well, he can always get a job on CNN.
Whatever he did should help Jesse, Jr., in IL; people there will be thrilled again.
“Justice” in IL means getting to do anything you want withouty repercussions.
I believe I heard Sandy's reaction after she found out...
...I don't live in Illinois, but, you know, loud voices do carry.
Triple J, and most other married black men in particular, do the dally. They feel that they’re entitled and what the hell, it's just sex and back home they go, because THEY CAN.
Whore, tramp, homewrecker have pretty much disappeared from the mainstream vocabulary. Doesn't make them any less what they are. Or the perv/scum that pay for their "acquaintance" any less what they are either.
Isn't that just an irony? Either way, they want to screw whitey.
Hey, the only “Justice” in Illinois is a small town in the Chicago suburbs.
Now we know why he gave his wife all that money.
" I been in Congress 13 years. My earmarks totaled $231,000 as of 6/1/07.
There's plenty more where that came from. There's "nothing wrong and nothing
new" about my funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars to my wife, Sandi,
a Chicago Alderman."
This is hilarious. Like fater, like son.
White porn star is quite a trophy for a black dude.
fater=father. :)
Remember when BO was suppose to have fathered a child out of Wedlock and JJ got upset with him (mike open) JJJ’s reaction was to shut his father up, instead of protecting MO (Sis)....Now we know why.
LMAO! That was quick. What happened to "bring it on!"
Compare this dirtbag Democrat “give my wife and I privacy” plea, and the medias complicit allegiance to this scumbag Jesse Jackson Jr, to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Today writing a from page story about the GOP candidate Matt Dolan for County Executive who dated and then married a lobbyist but kept everything transparent.... it was a love story, not a political story but the Plain Dealer, hoping to stir the pot with a non story is a piece of crap paper. It was a total waste of space...
Total hypocrisy....
Mmmmmmm......I think you got that wrong.
It was the blonde who took one look at JJJ's crotch and said, "Bring it on."
