The audacity of Jr.
Chicago Tribune ^ | 2/17/13

Posted on 02/16/2013 8:43:55 AM PST by Libloather

**SNIP**

Ask how he could humiliate not one but three generations of his globally known family — his famous father and his young children included.

No, Jesse Jackson Jr. wouldn't be the first to purposefully slow-walk that yearslong walk. Not the first to delight in secret luxuries and expensive acquisitions along a reliable, efficient path to the self-destruction of his career and his reputation.

Imagine, though, the depth of conniving, or self-delusion, or entitlement, or sheer audacious recklessness, that the federal accusations against Jackson would have required of him. What the feds on Friday suggested had happened here is a sustained crime spree that could succeed only if a man ensnarled by elaborate financial reporting requirements somehow kept it all secret.

...Congress, the Senate and the rest of DC do this daily with complete impunity, how did Jr gt so unlucky as to get hung up in it? God seems to give many evil people a complete pass.

It's NOT God giving out passes - passes are given out by liberal elites with the blessing and stamp of the MSM. Jr. has ticked off liberal elites in high power. He's a 'message' sent to the others: tow the line ... or else.

Unfortunately some people have no shame or embarrassment.

Jesse is a well known womanizer and that reputation goes back to the 1950s. He has never spent a night alone.

Well, there is one thing that Barack and Jesse have in common...neither has spent the night alone.

Of course no one could ever accuse Barack of being a WOMANIZER...
Moochelle is living proof of that

I like to think that God reserves earthly punishment for those who have even a whisper of a hope of redemption before they pass on. The ones with NO hope of repentance before they die, He sets aside to deal with Himself. }:)
