Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. Is Hanging Out at Bars While Under 'Doctor's Care' |
2012-10-16 |
When Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. emerged from last summer's disappearance--he had, his family said, been seeking treatment for bipolar disorder at the Mayo Clinic--his chief of staff told news hounds that he was "convalescing with his wife and children at home in Washington." But last week, he was seen convalescing in a D.C. bar with two different women on two consecutive nights. According to two independent sources, Jackson was spotted drinking at Bier Baron Tavern, a craft beer bar not far from Dupont Circle, on Tuesday and Wednesday nights last week. Each night, he was accompanied by a different woman. According to both sources, Jackson was drinking. "They were laughing and very focused on each other," one source said of Jackson's demeanor on Wednesday night. "Not sure when they left but I saw them there around 10:30 p.m. They didn't appear intoxicated or loud, but were definitely enjoying themselves." The Wall Street Journal reported today that federal prosecutors are "in the final stages of a criminal probe" into claims that Jackson illegally used campaign funds to redecorate his $1.3 million home in Washington. That's on top of a separate federal inquiry into Jackson's role in former Illinois Gov. Rod Y'gotta pay to play!Blagojevich Who was tried and eventually convicted on federal corruption charges that he tried to sell or trade Obama's old U.S. Senate seat. 's attempt to sell Barack Obama I am the change that you seek... 's vacated Senate seat. So the guy probably needed a drink last week. (And it wouldn't, according to Chicago Magazine, be even remotely the first time he spent quality time with a woman other than his wife, Chicago alderman Sandi Jackson.) |

#5 According to this morning's front-page WaPo article on "Junior" -- Jackson is recuperating at his home in Washington after spending at least six weeks at the Mayo Clinic, where he was visited by Kucinich and former congressman Patrick Kennedy. His staff hasn’t said when he will return. Few colleagues have seen him, but Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II (D-Mo.) said in a brief interview that he dined with Jackson recently and has spent time with Rev. Jackson. “They’re trying to make sure that he is completely well before he comes back,” Cleaver said. I guess visiting the DC bar scene with "women" means he has completly recovered. Unless he was in for alcohol abuse. |
