CHICAGO—U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., who defeated a primary challenge this year despite being the target of a House ethics investigation, has been on a medical leave for two weeks and is being treated for exhaustion, his office announced Monday. In a three-sentence news release, Jackson's office disclosed that the Democrat went on leave June 10 but did not provide further details, including how long he would be away. In the release, he asked that his family's privacy be respected.

” and is being treated for exhaustion “

That’s a quaint old PR ‘code’ for “drying-out”...

When I am exhausted, I got to sleep and wake up refreshed.

He must be in rehab.

Kennedy’s and Jackson’s get treated for “exhaustion”, everyone else goes to rehab to dry out.

With a lot of these guys you have to also wonder if they got caught with their pants down in the wrong place at the wrong time. ...................

He’s having emergency surgery to have his head removed from his ass.

Is he going to get a brain transplant from a chimp? That should double his intelligence.

Running from being ethical can be exhausting.

If I was out of work for three days or more, I had to get a note from my doctor to cover the days I had been absent, along with a diagnosis, as well as his clearing me to return to full duty. I wonder if these Congress Critters have to do the same as us peons.

So...this clown went AWOL on June 10, and it's only now, fifteen days later, that anybody notices?

Talk about your non-essential, leftover parts.

I thought JJ, Jr. was “hitting” Tamara Holder (Fox lib chick).

In any case... “exhaustion”... yeah, it can’t be easy running all that interference for a lawless, communist regime like Dear Leader’s.

"Exhaustion" is media euphemism for drug rehab.
