The Jackson file...

Ensconced in the safety of their home in Washington, D.C., former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. and his wife, former Ald. Sandi Jackson, are struggling to make ends meet before their sentencing in June. To wit: The shattered couple, who recently pleaded guilty to felonies, could lose their law licenses. They are desperately trying to pay the bills and figure out a financial plan for their two children. Although writing a memoir is on the table if Jackson Jr. can find a publisher (or publish it himself), Sneed is told their major financial support now is Triple J’s devoted brother, Yusef, a successful beer distributor and businessman. “It is Yusef who drove Jesse to Tucson when he was falling apart mentally due to the federal investigation,” said a Sneed source. “It is Yusef who has been there to calmly help his brother navigate through his emotional nightmare.” “In other words, neither have a job and no promise of earned money coming in. Everyone is trying to figure out how to make it work -- particularly if Sandi also has to serve jail time.” The McKinley mount...

Can’t Dad just shakedown another unsuspecting corporation? Strange...always worked before.

Most of the time it works, but I remember some years ago, he tried to shake down a California Hi Tech company, till the CEO asked him, rather disdainfully, where he got his money. JJ, being the snake that he is, slithered away, with his tail between his legs. I cheered for the guy.

Worry not, Junior, Pops will just shake down a few more corporations to keep you in bling for life.

You mean like the distributorship that was extorted from Budweiser?

Did JJ,Jr get disability to leave Congress...I know he was demanding it for the price of his resignation.

Ah, I see you beat me to it. Rather obvious, isn’t it?

Here’s your solution, Jesse:

Pistol. One bullet. Closed door.

Back when men had a sense of honor, this is what would be done.

Is this any different from any other white collar criminal who goes to prison?

If you cannot do the time , don’t do the crime.

Where is Daddy the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who by all rights should be in the cell next to his son.Oh!! I forgot he is enjoying a vacation in Venezuela at the Chavez wake. I bet he spent enough on that trip to pay a lot of the boys bills. haven’t heard much from him. The boy seems to be on his own.

Little Jess lived high on the hog for a long time before they caught up with him. Reminds me of the Johnsons of Prince Georges County Md.

Junior’s race pimp father is sitting on millions extorted from corporations with threats of bogus racism charges.

Let Jesse Sr. help his criminal son.

What’s to worry about? Stash the kids with grandpa, and report for a new orange jump suit, 3 meals a day, and communal CNN on the TV. Perfect life for JJJ and his Mrs.

Couldn’t he become a community organizer and just survive off the normal $70k a year in Chicago with that kind of work?

No. People like that need at least $200K to support their addictions to fur coats, Rolexes and celebrity memorabilia.

“Yusef, a successful beer distributor and businessman”?
Didn’t the ass clown get this distributorship as a result of a shakedown by his papa?
It use to belong to someone else and was taken away cause the guy was white.

He stole 750K from his campaign fund, what happened to that?

Your average family would live well for about ten years...
