Jesse Jackson Jr. mystery deepens (attempted suicide?)
Politico ^ | July 10, 2012 | JOHN BRESNAHAN and JAKE SHERMAN

Posted on 07/10/2012 4:51:19 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

The mystery surrounding Democratic Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr., deepened on Tuesday as speculation swirled around the Illinois Democrat’s health and political future.

Democratic sources say Jackson — who has not been on Capitol Hill since June 10 — may not return to the House until after the August congressional recess.

Jackson’s office said in a June 26 statement that the lawmaker was suffering from exhaustion and would take a “medical leave of absence” to receive treatment for the condition. No date has been given for Jackson’s return, and Democratic lawmakers and aides now believe it could last weeks or even months longer.

“I don’t think he’s coming back until at least September, if he comes back at all,” said a Democratic source close to the situation. “I think it’s all up in the air.”

ABC News also reported that Jackson “will likely not return to Congress until after Labor Day,” citing an unnamed source.

But the Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr., in an interview with POLITICO, pushed back on an unconfirmed report that his 47-year-old son attempted suicide.

I’m betting he wasn’t so “sick” that he wasn’t able to cash those big paychecks, though

I liked the comment of FReeper scrabblehack from a couple of weeks ago:

Exhaustion is a rich person’s disease. An ordinary person can’t come into a hospital and say “give me a bed; I’m exhausted.”

A rat has no pride nor shame ... except ... AIDS in an alleged straight man.

Whatever the situation, it's something even a RAT can't abide and I'm guessing it's AIDS related

Think about it ... no one believes zero is straight, but he could NEVER be exposed as having AIDS, right. His "family" and etcetera ...

JJJr has done da'downlow too much.

If he could look on the world his father and his ilk have created and behold it with a conscience...

Suicide would be a natural reaction.

Repentance would be another, better way!

“Caused by white racism.”

You just may have something there. My guess is one of the the closet racist Republicans said the word “Monday” and Jackson heard it. Probably went into a catatonic shock.

"Cracks me up how Fox still has her on and doesn’t ask her about it"

'Cause Fox isn't a news operation; it's "Entertainment Tonight" with better looking hosts.
