Rep. Jackson’s condition ‘more serious’ than thought, getting in-patient treatment
Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.), who took a leave of absence from Congress, is suffering from a medical condition more serious than “initially believed,” according to a statement from his office.
The nine-term lawmaker is receiving “in-patient” treatment for “certain physical and emotional ailments,” the statement noted. It did not provide additional details about his illness or how long he would be absent from Capital Hill.
“Congressman Jackson’s medical condition is more serious than we thought and initially believed,” Jackson spokesman Frank Watkins said. “Recently, we have been made aware that he has grappled with certain physical and emotional ailments privately for a long period of time.”

Does that mean he’s more liberal and addle-brained than his father?

I cannot disclose the paticular ailments suffered by my patient, Mr. Jackson.
But I can tell you it is a normal everyday problem that everybody is affected by.
My diagnosis is that Mr. Jackson’s ailment is caused by dealing with everyday life.
The prescription I offered Mr. Jackson,
Two Tylenol, a pat on the head and I told him,
“Now go home and get your fuckin’ shine box.”

I don’t know his condition so I ain’t gonna cast any aspersions. If anyone’s sick, I hope they get well. I don’t care who it is….mostly. JJ Jr’s not a ‘big player’ to me.

You want to bet he was self-medicating while he was privately treating these extra ailments. Maybe he found he was extemely allergic to iron bars and confined spaces.

Mrs. Jackson was on radio and one of her statements was that she loved her husband and just wants to be assured that her children will be taken care of.
Wonder what she did to him when he was caught in his affair. Bet it was more than emotional pain that she inflicted.

Yeah, I’ve heard of a condition like this before. I think its called
“I’m getting investigated for some really serious shit and maybe I can help myself if I can act sick or something”-itis
…I heard its pretty serious, and can last as long as court cases in some instances. My friend suffered from it; he contracted it from a stolen car…

Well duh. How does a young man like him who works at most a few hours a week suffer from exhaustion? Try getting a real job like the rest of us suckers. Oh wait that would mean you’d have to show up everyday from 9-5 and given you’re upbringing from your lazy-bum father you’d never know how to do that either. Chicago, you get the bed that you made electing this bum son of a bum.
