Jackson Jr.’s Last-Minute “Mood Disorder†Qualifies for Disability
August 15, 2013
Although disgraced Illinois Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. suddenly developed a “mood disorder†as the feds were about to indict him, he qualifies for generous government disability payments because it’s considered a debilitating mental illness.
Of interesting note is that Jackson Jr., sentenced this week to 2 ½ years in prison for corruption, never showed any symptoms of a “mood disorder†during his 17 years as a federal lawmaker. The mental illness surfaced abruptly last summer as the congressman, a member of Judicial Watch’s Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians list, was about to get criminally charged.
The feds had been breathing down the Illinois Democrat’s neck—and he was the target of a House Ethics Committee probe—for participating in a political scandal involving President Obama’s old U.S. Senate seat. Details first surfaced during the 2010 federal corruption trial (covered live in Chicago by Judicial Watch) of impeached/convicted Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. Jackson attended a 2008 meeting in which his top fundraiser (arrested in a separate bribery scheme) tried to buy him the Senate seat vacated when Obama got elected president, according to court testimony.

The late onset of what we now knows is a debilitating mental illness makes Junior eligible to get $8,700 per month in government disability pay, according to a news report that also says the slammer-bound politician can get a partial federal pension of $45,000 despite his transgressions. So what does Junior’s dad, the world-renowned civil rights con man, have to say about all this? The Reverend Jesse Jackson says his son has been very sick and is still in recovery. “This time a year ago I thought we may have lost him,†the senior Jackson wrote in a letter to the court.
The bullshit just gets deeper and deeper - unless you're a demoncrap.
Too bad we didn't lose him, "Rev" (http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2013/08/jackson-jr-s-last-minute-mood-disorder-qualifies-for-disability/)

I hate to say it, Jeff, but Illinois?
You voted this jagoff in office.
Now you own him.
:thatsright: Excuse me. The taxpayers own him.
Since I own a tiny little piece of him, I'd like to sell a small corner of his left pinky fingernail to the Society of Crooked Politicians and have it go on display.

YOU BETTER CORRECT THAT! I NEVER VOTED FOR HIM. The damned redrawing of the congressional districts all the way down to Kankakee voted for him. He represented nothing that this part of his district wants or wanted. His replacement will be just as bad - a dumbo from obamaville.

Relax. I addressed my post to the State of Illinois. They, or at least the mindless robots in his district, voted his ass into office.
The rest of the State -- you included -- have to deal with the fact that at one time, he and his colleagues all represented the entire State of Illinois at the federal level.
In a manner of speaking, Jackson was the best candydate you (meaning the citizens) could offer.
Jackson, and people like him, make the rest of the good citizens of Illinois look like idiots.
That's how badly his actions have affected your State.
It's sad, but true.

Unfortunately, that voting bloc represents only the metro areas, which the blacks hold onto like they are "entitled." There are a few others, but the majority are not Caucasians.

I don't disagree, and I certainly can understand the frustration in that the people of Cook County dictate to the rest of the State what will be done and what won't.

I wish Crook County would secede from Illinois and form its own state.
