Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. is suffering from debilitating depression and even collapsed at his home in Washington two months ago, his wife said in an interview published Saturday that revealed new details about his secretive leave of absence.
Sandi Jackson, who is a Chicago City Council member, told the Chicago Sun-Times that contrary to rumors, her husband did not try to kill himself and was not being treated for alcohol or drug addiction.

Yeah, depression is bad. But is that the real story or the cover story? Is he depressed because he was about to be indicted?
And all that whoring around will really get you “depressed” when your wife finds out about it!

Translation: Cocaine is a helluva drug.
Can one really believe this family? or anyone in the Democrat Party for that matter...
Look at our current White House...
they are full of tax cheats and liars.
All that racialist lying takes its toll.
No, no, no - he simply had a “mood disorder”. I think the medical term is “liberalism”.
I still think this story is all made up. I'll bet he did try and off himself and now the coverup is in full swing. He's worried about the indictment that may come his way. He might have a conscience and he feels guilty?
No, no, no, ‘e’s pinin’ for the fjords!
Toast. Medical retirement ?
Watchout JJ. Those anti-depressent drugs are bad medicine. You might snap for real.
I wonder if he was told to lay low and drop out.
His ‘Depression’ is caused by About-To-Be-Indicted-itis.
It can be a very debilitating disease, especially among Chicago Democrats.
I just as depressed and debilitated, my depression started on January 20, 2009.
Yep. His conviction could bring down a lot of big people. He is being kept out of sight.
"Whatch'you mean, I don't get the Senate seat? Do you know who my daddy be?? DO YOU KNOW WHO MY DADDY BE?????"
Go to a Chick-fil-A drive through and get it over with.
The timing of Jackson's medical leave has raised questions, in part because Jackson is facing an ethics investigation in the U.S. House connected to imprisoned former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich. The House Ethics Committee is investigating allegations that Jackson was involved in discussions about raising money for Blagojevich's campaign in exchange for the then-governor appointing him to President Barack Obama’s vacated U.S. Senate seat.
He's been busted wearing daddys shoes, doing the jackson shake down. Must be on tape.

"...but ya doesn't hafta call me 'Jackson'."
His primary fund-raiser was indicted a few days before Jackson ‘disappeared’, for fraud and Bribery, and his name has come up in connection with Chicago Bears busted Drug Dealer to Chicago’s elite, Sam Hurd.
