Jesse Jackson Jr. Says He’s ‘Not Well’

Jackson told The Daily on Monday that he is “not well” and has doctor’s appointments twice a day at George Washington University Hospital. He was diagnosed with bipolar 2 disorder at Minnesota’s Mayo Clinic. Jackson did not respond to questions about a criminal probe into allegations that he used campaign funds to redecorate his house.

According to Gawker, Jackson Jr. was spotted drinking at the Bier Baron Tavern in Washington, D.C. two nights last week, with two different women. A server told The Daily that he had seen the congressman drinking and smoking a cigar. “Most of the time he’s talking on his damn phone,” the waiter said.

The Post’s Manuel Roig-Franzia has more on Jackson’s disappearance from Congress and his future:

Jackson’s current campaign is a baffling abstraction, but he’s expected to win easily against a Republican challenger in his heavily Democratic district. His wife and campaign spokesman say he is on the ballot and plans to serve if elected. But no events are scheduled, and Jackson’s campaign spokesman, Kevin Lampe, declined to say whether any advertisements or mailers have been purchased.

According to a spokesman, Jackson’s Dupont Circle home is still for sale. Sandi Jackson has said the sale was prompted because of a need to pay for her husband’s medical expenses.

I wonder if he'd go back to work if they stopped sending him a check?

Another report said that he's selling the Washington house because it is believed to have been decorated with kick-back money.

It's racist to hold Black males responsible for anything.

It's all an attempt to avoid prosecution.

Like his father he, is a monumental scumbag, liar and extortionist.

So those jerks in Chicago are going to re-elect a chariot driver? It’s a wacky world out there.

He was probably on the phone making an appointment for a Turkish bath. He may need to practice up on his naked martial arts.

Unfortunately, his idiot voters never learn. No matter the crime, they will vote in a donkey if he tells them enough BS and if there is enough “walk about” money in it for them. They never learn from their past mistakes. Most Democrats I know believe everything they are told by the media or whoever feeds them a line. It’s sick.

Here in Indianapolis, they kept re-electing the senile and debilitated Julia Carson until she basically went from the House floor to the mortuary. Then they elected her grandson as replacement (even worse 'cause he's a Muzzie).

The congressional plan (that you pay for) should.

Wonder what daddy thinks of his son believing he was a white man.

The white devil made him act insane?

“Not well”,in this case,means that the story on the conspiracy to sell Osama Senate seat is still simmering and JJJr fears becoming another Jim MacDougal.

I call BS. The medical plan for Congresscritters is the stuff of legends.

It may be that he represents his constituents very well.

Good news is his congressional voting record is 100% more pro-American.

Pray for America
