if this was a republican, there would be a media feeding frenzy. they would be rooting through garbage. they would be trying to fool 95 year old grandmothers into saying something incriminating.
but a liberal democrat? crickets chirping.
they would have ignored wiener's wiener if Breitbart hdan't forced them to deal with it.
US Rep. Jackson requires in-patient treatmentCHICAGO — U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. is suffering from "physical and emotional ailments" that require extended in-patient treatment, according to a statement from his office Thursday.
The Chicago Democrat, who faces a House ethics investigation over his ties to imprisoned former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, has been on medical leave for three weeks for exhaustion, news his office announced last week in a three-sentence statement. But no details about Jackson's whereabouts and condition have been released since then.
A statement from his office on Thursday did not disclose his location or provide details of his medical condition. Messages left for his spokesmen were not immediately returned.
"Congressman Jackson's medical condition is more serious than we thought and initially believed," the statement said. "Recently, we have been made aware that he has grappled with certain physical and emotional ailments privately for a long period of time. At present, he is undergoing further evaluation and treatment at an in-patient medical facility."
The statement said Jackson, 47, will need "extended in-patient treatment as well as continuing medical treatment thereafter."
