Things seem to be going from bad to worse for Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr.
The Illinois congressman has been MIA from Capitol Hill since June 10th, reportedly too ill from a mysterious ailment to work and fulfill his political obligations. Jackson was said to have been recuperating at home after being treated at the Mayo Clinic this summer for a bipolar disorder and some gastrointestinal issues. Although none of his fellow congressmen or the voters of Illinois have seen or heard from him in nearly 5 months, Jackson remains on the November ballot for reelection.
Now, CNN is reporting that Jackson was spotted out last week at a Washington, DC bar drinking and living it up… on TWO separate occasions… with TWO different women! Hmmm…
Sandi Jackson, the congressman’s wife, said this month that her husband is eager to “get back out and do what he can” but that his doctors have directed him to “stay very calm and very quiet.” However, it seems his idea of “calm and quiet” is a couple of gin and tonics mixed with a little female companionship.
Now that Jackson has been caught partying like it’s 1999, word out of Chicago is he has decided to return to the Mayo Clinic to “get better.” (insert your own joke here)
It seems Jesse Jackson, Jr. has a lot of explaining to do. How is it possible that he’s been too ill to fulfill his duties as congressman for the last 5 months or even speak once to the voters he hopes will reelect him, but well enough to booze it up with a bunch of questionable females (who were NOT his wife) at a local watering hole???
Inquiring minds want to know!
