Rep. Jackson Treated For 'More Serious' Ailments

The mystery surrounding U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.'s leave of absence deepened Thursday as his office disclosed a few more vague details about his medical condition, saying his ailments were "more serious" than previously thought and he needs extended inpatient treatment.

But his staff gave no hint of the congressman's whereabouts or exactly what he was suffering from, saying only that he has grappled with physical and emotional problems "privately for a long period of time" and was at an inpatient facility.

The nine-term Chicago Democrat has come under intense scrutiny in recent years for ties to imprisoned former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich and an extramarital affair. Despite a pending U.S. House ethics investigation connected to Blagojevich, he has been widely expected to win re-election in November.

  6. I know this may upset people but when a younger Mr Jackson spoke to the 20 of us at a meeting he had at UMES he was very nice, listened very intently and made a strong impression on the few of us that stayed to meet him. I don't like things that go bad but if his cards are on the table he like all of us need to pick up our hand and use what we were dealt
    No hatred or dislike for anyone sad the way things appear to happen

  7. It's a b1tch when your liberalism gets destroyed by common sense, and you start to realize that everything you've stood for was wrong....Might drive one off the deep end....

  8. It'll bring him politically closer to "his people", being a "recovered" drug addict, a victim of the great white conspiracy, whatever that is this week.
