Boo Hoo: MSNBC Hosts Are “Sad” Jesse Jackson Jr. Got Caught

After reading about the money he stole, the expensive swag he bought with campaign funds, and the constituents he ultimately betrayed, it’s hard to feel anything but contempt for disgraced celebrity son and former Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. But apparently not everyone agrees with me. Indeed, the folks over at ‘Morning Joe’ are -- wait for it -- saddened by his downfall (via Jazz Shaw):

I’m sad his old man is not going with him.

[Coldwater Creek]

It is a sad story. Doesn’t mean that I'm not glad that the Jackson's got caught.

[Servant of the Cross]

That reminds me how sad they were that Mark Foley (or substitute any GOP congressman) got caught .... NOT!

[skinkinthegrass]

the fact; that they, can't report an Conservative being...
(like a TEA partier)
charged @ the same time is what really Irks them....

[Hardraade]

I am sad he’s alive.

Which means he’s nothing special, I guess..

It is a sad story.
No, no fecking way this is sad. If anything it was predictable as snow in winter.
He deserves everything he's brought upon himself - including our condemnation.

Just a reminder about how Jesse Jr. became wealthy in the first place. Back in the 80’s when Jesse Sr. was getting his extortion racket going, one of his first corporate victims was Coca Cola. They were accused of not having enough minority distributors, and as part of their shakedown deal they agreed to give distributorships to blacks. The very first of these was to give a big area of Chicago to none other than Jesse Jr.

Getting caught only proves that young Jerkson is more stupid than his idiot father.

What’s the big deal? Its not like he drank from a water bottle or something horrible.

Any time a prominent Republican gets caught doing anything illegal, there's non-stop smirking at MSNBC and to a slightly lesser degree at the other alphabet networks, and the morning shows such as "The View" with Meredith Vieira and Whoopi Goldberg.

Particularly when the Republican is caught texting sexual messages to a young male page, or patronizing a prostitute, or doing anything else that's inconsistent with a family values agenda. The worst offense in the Democratic Party's quasi-religion is Republican hypocrisy. Democratic hypocrisy in such matters is carefully ignored for the most part.

Did Mika offer sad grunts today?

[bmwcyle]

I saw the whole family did not end it all.

[South40]

Actually, it was beer not Coka Cola.

The thing is, with no morals (D-rat), whatever they do is ok.

But Republicants are “supposed” to be the responsible party etc. so it’s “b-ad” when a R does something wrong.

Supposedly.

Both parties are actually sides of the same coin, just R’s pretend to be conservative.

Two words...

no worries , JJ jr will be back to his old self when Obama gives him his pardon ,maybe he’ll get a show there

[Hugin]

I stand corrected.

[Coldwater Creek]

It'’s true that the Jackson's deserve anything that they get. It is just sad that they are thieves.
