Jesse Jackson Jr. doesn't deny involvement with a Washington D.C. based restaurant hostess who was named this morning in a Sun-Times story about his alleged attempt to buy an appointment to President Obama's former Senate seat.
Jackson Jr. allegedly had a relationship with Giovana Huidobro, a restaurant hostess and former model whose pictures can be seen here, and asked that fund-raiser Raghuveer Nayak pay for her to be flown from D.C. to Chicago on at least two occasions.
"The reference to a social acquaintance is a personal and private matter between me and my wife that was handled some time ago." Jackson Jr. said in a statement. "I ask that you respect our privacy."
Huidobro was allegedly present at a D.C. meeting between Jackson Jr. and Nayak in 2008, when the two allegedly discussed a scheme to funnel $6 million in fund-raising dollars to Rod Blagojevich.
"The allegations about fund raising and the Senate seat are not new," Jackson said. "I've already talked with the authorities about these claims, told them they were false, and no charges have been brought against me. The very idea of raising millions of dollars for a campaign other than my own is preposterous. My interest in the Senate seat was based on years of public service, which I am proud of, not some improper scheme with anyone."
He adds: "I know I have disappointed some supporters and for that I am deeply sorry. But I remain committed to serving my constituents and fighting on their behalf."

Maybe Jessie Jackson Jr. should call in Bill Clinton to act as a “spiritual advisor”...
The turd didn’t fall far from the anus.
Giovanna Huidobro
“The very idea of raising millions of dollars for a campaign other than my own is preposterous.”
Jesse Jagoff Jr’s raising millions for Blago was raising millions for Jesse’s campaign to get Obama’s seat. It’s good to see Rahm getting dirt out on Jesse.
Who da’ bro?
The cowsh#t doesn’t fall far from the cow’s @$$hole.
The whole Chicago lot is dispicable.
Jesse Jackson = Scumbag
Jesse Jackson Jr = Scumbag JR
“It’s good to see Rahm getting the dirt out on Jesse?” I am pretty sure someone’s got the goods on Rahm, and that I am even more interested in seeing!
Those goods will be coming out of Boystown in Chicago.
Father like son .... immoral idiots.
There will be many African American women in Chicago who will not be pleased with Jesse’s choice in ho’s.
I’m sorry. Are we supposed to judge this pic on the Hitable scale or the Guilty scale?
I don’t think there’s much doubt that all this stuff is coming out now in the news media because Rahm wants to clear the way to replace Daley. And I would presume that Daley may be behind it, too, if he wants Rahm to succeed him.
I thought Fitzgerald nailed him for being involved in buying Obama’s seat.
Would this be convenient for Rham to run for an office in Chicago, or what?
I wonder what daddy thinks about Junior banging a white woman.
