. NEW REASON - I can't keep track. Walked in the house and collapsed due to Depression now. I didn't know people fell down and collapsed due to Depression. Sandi Jackson said her husband collapsed at their home in Washington on June 10 while she was in Chicago. "His collapse was D-Day for us," she told Sun-Times columnist Michael Sneed, adding that her husband had become "completely debilitated by depression." The congressman's father and his brother Yusef took him to George Washington hospital, she said. "He called and told me not to worry, but it was obvious he was suffering from a form of depression," Mrs. Jackson said. "So Yusef took him at my suggestion to the Sierra Tucson Treatment Center in Arizona, where they specialize in mental health." She said it was there that a question arose about whether the depression could be "due to a lack of nutrients" Just call a Blond, a Blond. They took Blondie away and arrested his Million-dollar financier - enough to make anyone not want to sit through another Congressional speech. . Edited by Mason, Aug 4 2012, 10:36 PM.

That and also that he was (according to his mother) depressed that he did not get either the senate seat or mayor of Chicago. |

. 40 Grand for the little Girlfriend - write a check from the Non-Profit. Rev. Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow/PUSH Coalition claimed in 2001 that a final $40,000 payment for Jackson mistress Karin Stanford had been nixed in 1999. But in a new book, comedian D.L. Hughley, a liberal in good standing and a political commentator on TV and radio, suggests that the final $40,000 payment did go through. Hughley should know: The money was for a house he was selling. Rainbow/PUSH was at one point embroiled in controversy over smaller but substantial payments to Stanford, ostensibly made for moving expenses and a consulting paper she wrote for the organization. Hughley makes the claim in his new book of comedy and often race-related political commentary, titled “I Want You — to Shut the F#ck Up!” I know for a fact that Jesse [Jackson] succumbed to venality, because it affected me directly. In 1999, I had a house that I wanted to sell in Baldwin Hills. I had a property-management company taking care of the sale for me, and we got a bid on the house from a young woman. “She really wants the house,” the broker told us. But the bid was significantly less than we wanted — I’m talking forty grand less. At that time, the market was pretty solid. There was no need for us to take a bath on the sale. “No,” I told the broker. “If she really wants it, you tell her that the asking price is the actual price.” A couple of days later, the buyer matched the price. There was a check from the Rainbow Coalition making up the difference between her original offer and our final price. I instantly thought that somebody down there at the Coalition had himself a little chippy on the side, but I didn’t care one way or another. What mattered to me was whether the check cleared — which it did. Several weeks after the sale closed, I was on the set of The Hughleys. “Is that your house?” someone asked me. “What are you talking about?” I said. “That’s your house on the TV news!” And it was. Everyone from the show gathered around to watch the TV set. The reporters had cameras in front of my old house, and the newscasters were proclaiming that this was the home of Jesse Jackson’s love child. His mistress had had a baby, and they were saying that he had bought the house for her. At some point in the following days, the government even called me investigating whether Jesse had used funds improperly. Obviously, I played dumb. “I don’t know,” I said. “I’ve never seen anything and I don’t know what you’re talking about. Talk to my lawyer.” A minor John Edwards-sized scandal in the grand scheme of things, but an amusing reminder that it’s a small (political) world.

He didn't "play dumb". He lied. |

Since most sales go through a title company, which first clears the checks and then either sends a title company check, a cashiers check or directly transfers the money to the seller's account, my guess is he did not find out where the checks came from until after the house was on the news and the government had asked him questions. |

Maybe, that sounds like the normal procedure... but that's not the way I read this paragraph. "A couple of days later, the buyer matched the price. There was a check from the Rainbow Coalition making up the difference between her original offer and our final price. I instantly thought that somebody down there at the Coalition had himself a little chippy on the side, but I didn’t care one way or another. What mattered to me was whether the check cleared — which it did." But maybe he wasn't entirely accurate in his description of the events.

I love the fact that Clinton chose "Rev" Jackson as his spititual advisor during the Lewinsky mess. Of course, he did have a certain expertise in this area. |

http://www.wral.com/news/national_world/national/story/11423684/ Mayo Clinic: Jackson has bipolar depression Posted: 27 minutes ago Updated: 10 minutes ago A release Monday from the Mayo Clinic states that the Democrat underwent an extensive evaluation and is responding well to treatment for the disorder at the facility in Rochester, Minn. The release says Jackson is regaining his strength. Jackson spokesman Frank Watkins declined to comment. The clinic says that Bipolar II disorder is a treatable condition that affects parts of the brain controlling emotion, thought and drive and is likely caused by a complex set of genetic and environmental factors. Jackson has been away from the public eye since June 10 when family members said he collapsed at their Washington home. He's been on an extended leave of absence from Congress. |

Wiki: Bipolar II disorder is a bipolar spectrum disorder characterized by at least one hypomanic episode and at least one major depressive episode; with this disorder, depressive episodes can be more frequent and are more intense than hypomanic episodes. I must be Bipolar III, or IV or V... I'm only semi-depressive at worst and minorly manic when I get pizzed off! At least we have JJ II's disorder diagnosed now. |

. What is this, reason 17? With lots of the other ones, family members specifically denied diagnosis after diagnosis - so we'll have to see. They're probably trying to explain his hyper-sexual behavior and garner a media defense for his benefactor supplying him with so much money. . |
