Via Sean Higgins, the Washington Post has a doozy of a story this morning about the travails of Jesse Jackson Jr. who is battling accusations of corruption as well as dealing with issues related to mental illness. While the Post's article carries a colorless headline, the revelations contained within are likely to raise some eyebrows:

People with this disease should not plan on employment that requires great accountability or responsibility.

I literally got promoted overnight: I walked into the office one day and was told the person over me, who was bipolar, had another breakdown and required longterm leave of absence. After nine months she formally resigned and I was basically "grandfathered" into her position.

"Deborah," though competent, was volatile. I was afraid of her, and I dreaded coming to work. Although she worked mainly behind a desk, she had to share other duties which required much contact and conflicts with staff and customers. People avoided her, as she blew up at the slightest thing or snapped in their faces. Even though I complained (along with others), and she was called to the carpet, it was difficult for her to change. She strained to stay polite and reserved, but underneath lay the same volcano. Had she come back to work after those nine months, I would have quit.

Ironically, her breakdown partially resulted from a reaction to her medication. She came to work briefly with trembling hands -- tardive diskenesia, it's called. I know these people have to get their blood tested regularly; unfortunately a former landlord of mine suffered renal failure & needed a kidney transplant. It's a no-win situation.

Thanks for the ping. At least he doesn’t claim to have been an Emperor.

No. He’s diagnosed with a mental illness, Bipolar II.

Diagnoses, when everyone of us is judged mentally ill, according to one or another definition by the psychological association, diagnoses can be bought too.

“I really thought he had a problem with reality,”

This is typical for a Democrat. Obama also thought he had won the debate. They're all delusional nutcases.

You just missed it, folks who are buying this cynical move by a son of a grifter: October 13, International Skeptics Day.

Don’t know if you saw the infamous “soulja girl “ on the Marta Bus video on youtube but her brother put up an apology for the girls behavior and explained that she is bipolar.

The very interesting thing to me is that in the midst of her manic episode or psychotic break or whatever it was - she knew what line not to cross.

I have noticed that these Bipolar types have become more prevalent these days. I think part of the reason is because we tolerate it more. Most of the obvious bipolar people that I know are indulged. If they flip out, someone just excuses them as Bipolar.
I think they always existed, we just didn’t indulge them in earlier times. After enough ass whippins, they learned to calm down.

I know someone who is Bipolar. She is rich and can afford to flip out at people. I wrote her off. I have a hard enough time with normal people.
One Bipolar trait is the inability to voice what causes their episode. The most common explanation for their screaming at you is “You know what you did”.

So he’s taking the “I’m not corrupt, I’m INSANE!” defense?

Jesse’s just following the lead of The One, who thinks he’s a Greek god.
