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.
[Snip]
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.

An optimist huh... ;^)
He is currently one less vote for the wrong side. I hope he gets re-elected and then spends the next few years recuperating somewhere other than DC.
gee thanks.
Well at least that other Jackson family is normal. Oh wait...
Helping the poor has been very, very good for these Jacksons. Isn’t it amazing how rich and famous you can get when you help the poor?
I thought Black people didn’t like Mayo? :)
He won't resign until he's sold the seat.
yitbos
Finally got one of "his people" into the White House and sees what a dismal failure is the result, how unlikely it is to happen again, and how much of a setback it is to race relations in the country (does Jackson real care?).
I'd be depressed, too!
He got caught.
He is facing prison time and should be “depressed”.
Yeah, Jesse Jr. has depression brought on by gastric bypass surgery?
And I am tall dark and handsome and wear size 13 shoes.
Jesse Jr. is a crack head.
Speaking of crack-heads, what in the heck is Rahmbo smokin’ lately? Compare his latest pictures to those just two years ago and he takes on the look of the sequence mug shots of Meth-heads. The guy looks like he was rode hard and put away wet for months and then followed up by a fire hose to try and make him look good.
So, has he gone untreated for so long and now he will simply need Zoloft, Abilify etc and he will be fine? ( the late/ while he was alive) Mike Wallace had PSAs for this?
He sure seems to be “acting white”.
I wonder if us “normal people” would even be considered for admission to the Mayo clinc so someting as silly as depression.
As you suggest (?) great Congress health care.
For everyone , if luckyy you talk to a certified counselor 40 minutes a week. Take the medication. Simple. Unless severe depression needs to get controlled. Suicide thoughts or attempts ?
Ole Rahm has found that being mayor of chicago is no picnic and under his, “leadership” the city has gone in the toilet. How many killings a day are they averaging?
Amen Brother.
You got that right.
Another question would be...... how many businesses have failed or departed Chicago?
In another article, it was reported that his condition was directly attributed to a bypass surgery he supposedly underwent.
My bet is the old man and his spawn smells money and a court case against the doctor and hospital will soon be in the news.
JJJr, enjoying the benefits of the Congressional health plan....Mayo Clinic and almost two months of sick leave already. It is good to be special.
