“”I misled the American people,” he said.”

Just like his daddy, he can’t bear to say “LIED to the American people”.

“U.S. Attorney Ronald Machen has said the government could have come up with more serious charges against her than filing false joint federal income tax returns, but used discretion because the Jacksons have children.”

Just like when they were chasing Scooter Libby but I guess Scooter did not have children. Speaking of that time, was this inquiry based somewhat on info which came out of the Blago matter. I wonder what other schemes or other individuals escaped justice in that probe due to their position in office? Can we say real estate deals???

“I misled the American people,” he said
..........................................................
His Daddy has made a living doing just that.

Yet he is free as a bird while the idiots pay his child support for him on his illegitimate kid.

...gold-plated men's Rolex watch...

There is no gold plated Rolex. If it is plated, it is fake, and not worth $43,000.

When viewing a Rolex, anything that looks like gold...IS SOLID 18 KARAT GOLD!!

Jesse Jackson, JR? That must be that Republican from Chicago right? The MSM hasn’t identified his party so I’m just taking a wild guess:)

In 3 years he will be running for office. He will be invited to the democrat convention and asked to speak.

This is a badge for democrats, the party of corruption.

In an emotional speech to the judge during which he became choked up and used tissues to blow his nose, he apologized and said he wanted to "take responsibility for my actions."

"I misled the American people," he said.

No sh*t Sherlock!
