Jesse Jr….

The Democratic establishment is wringing its collective dirty hands over  the downfall  of former Congressman Jesse Jackson,  Jr. and his former alderman wife,  Sandi.   They misused over $700 thousand of Jr’s campaign funds.   Some may say that the strangeness  of the items  the couple purchased means they were both crazy,  but I contend it’s the arrogance and sense of superiority and entitlement Jr. learned from his daddy.

I can’t help but wonder if his hospitalization for depression last year,  when he knew he was under investigation,  was to receive a lighter sentence.   He appears to be a candidate for up to a five-year sentence,  but I’m betting his doesn’t do a day in jail,  and that his wife doesn’t either.   Four of the recent Illinois governors have gone to prison,  but the Chicago machine provides special protection for those who prosper under its guiding hand..
