CHICAGO — U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., a Chicago Democrat who took a hushed medical leave two months ago, is being treated for bipolar disorder, the Mayo Clinic announced Monday.

The Rochester, Minn.-based clinic specified his condition as Bipolar II, which is defined as periodic episodes of depression and hypomania. Hypomania is a less serious form of mania.

"Congressman Jackson is responding well to the treatment and regaining his strength," the clinic said in a statement...

Is he perhaps establishing a medical condition as defense of possible corruption charges that are being investigated?

It worked for that moron wife of Bill Lockyer out in California. Now that she's out of "rehab" she gets treated like she's a cancer survivor instead of a high official who had a total moral breakdown in public.

It's not "negro" any more. It's colored black Afro-American African-American.

Jackson Jr. has been in the repair shop for quite a while.
He must have had a really major discomboomeration.

Yo bud, I am neither an Nedandtral nor a troll. I speak facts.

What problem do you have with me saying that 90% of Negroes vote for Obama. That is a fact.

Negroes have a serious cultural problem. That cultural problem starts with Jackaon and brothers of his ilk. His culture of dependency on producers is robbing my children's future. They do not pay taxes on the whole like the rest of Americans. We pay their way.

Please take a look at crime statistics. Listen to rap and hip-hop, cop killer music. Look at the amount of money that we dump into city schools and they still fail. Look at all of the cities that have a Negro mayor and are going bankrupt.

It is a cultural problem, not a race problem. I wish we could clone Allen West to replace every RINO in congress. There is a culture of dependency that exists for 90% plus of Negroes.

Note, I don't use the term African-American because they are not African, and as soon they use a hyphen to describe themselves they are not fully American. Given that 90% plus of them voted for Obama we could call them, more accurately, socialist Americans.

So drop the damn political correctness and grow a pair.

He's not smart enough to get the joke. More like a Senate seat to represent North Korea...

Good reply. Try making an argument instead of calling me names. Prove how anyone one of my points are false, I will listen. You just sound like a typical Democrat, which includes every Republican in MA. You might change my mind. In the mean time, since you call me names, take your liberal MA ass and meet some people from rest off our country. You might learn something about the real world and people who produce in America.

I'm stuck on what my grandpa taught me. He was a wise man and not a racist. Scientifically, the correct term should be negroid. That is the name of the race. Kind of funny how white folks have answer every government form as ‘Caucasian’. Just saying.

Sounds like they cleared up his other problem (or hope they did) and now they have something that they can talk about for some sympathy points.
