John, I am really scared for Jesse Jackson, Jr. I like him a lot and really hope that he was not stupid enough to get caught up in the storm.
ReplyDeleteAnthony, I agree. He's always appeared to be on the up-and-up, though there was that whole airport in Peotone issue, which probably had some unsavory characters surrounding it. But for the most part, he's seemed like a decent pol. I imagine a lot of people are hoping that he didn't know about this emissary's actions, or at least can't be directly tied to them. But he was salivating over that Senate seat.
