So with regards to this story pointing out that, even prior to his going AWOL from Congress, Jesse Jackson Jr thought himself a reincarnated chariot driver and liked to perform naked martial arts kata at Turkish baths, I’ll offer this by way of defense: never once did Jackson Jr try to get his horse appointed to parliament, nor did he ever try to plant a junk-flapping Billy Jack round house kick to the face of a buffed-out Paul Ryan. That we know of.
Which, at the very least, this says about Jackson Jr. that for all his minor peccadilloes, he is nothing if not a paragon of Congressional decorum — not to mention respectfully faithful to whatever tenet obtains in resisting the urge to throw slappy teeps at unsuspecting Wisconsin lawmakers who are just trying to finish off a round of p90x at the Capitol gym.
And I for one believe such self-control should be applauded, not treated as the product of disturbed mind that probably shouldn’t be anywhere near the levers of power.
Crazy is as crazy does, as my momma used to say.
Hmmm… a Greek charioteer… Turkish baths…
Am I detecting a pattern?
Isn’t he up for election? Will Illinois send him back to Congress?
Sorry, stupid question, of course they will.
I wonder if he likes gladiator movies?
And what was the guy, Media Matters, that thought he was about to be sniped by the Right Wing at any second and so his defense was St. Sebastian poses in Vogue.
I probably got some details wrong, but I just bring it up to show why they expect all of us to obviously be unhinged.
Heh, I was thinking the same thing, Darth. Captain Oveur, over.
David Brock.
Still only puts him in about the 40th percentile of most insane Democrats.
Poor guy’s a mental giant compared to Louis Farrakhan.
That’s right! Thanks, McGehee.
Just did an insane-off image search on google between the two.
Hmm. Tough call. I give it to David Brock cause of his hair color choice and “ARM OF CATS!” stare.
I’ll hold off feeling sorry for him until he exits Congress. he can still do damage to people other than himself.
I heard Farrakhan on the radio today ranting about how Allah gwan killus all!
I don’t believe he’s all there.
“So tell me Tommy…..have you ever seen a naked grown man in the shower?”
Considering his state of mind, his district, and the duration of his absences for mental health issues, I regretfully believe it is probably in our best interest that he is not replaced.
