An article at TheHill.com has the headline
"Questions mount over Jackson Jr's Absence". The democratic spin is that JJ has worked himself to exhaustion in the House of Representatives. REALLY?? What is he doing that the other 434 representatives are not doing? Why are they not so exhausted that they have to take medical leave until after the election?
The reality of the situation is that Jackson, Jr. is under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for his involvement in the Blagoyevich fiasco. It has been rumored that he was throwing around "favors" to try to get the Senate seat vacated by Obama. Rather than admit the truth, democrats do what they do best; Spin, cheat, lie, repeat.
The other reality check from this story is that Rep. Luis Gutierrez and Sen. Dick Durbin have some things in common that are really interesting:
- They are both Democrat
- They both represent Illinois
- They both voted AGAINST the contempt charges for Eric Holder
- They are both DEMANDING that Jackson come forward with more details about his absence
The third and fourth items are the objects of the reality check. Here you have an Attorney General who has obviously been untruthful to Congress, the American people and, most importantly, the family of Brian Terry. Their attitude toward that is "Move along. There's nothing to see here". Another man misses a few days of work because he is under investigation......I mean exhausted, and it's "Katie, bar the door!! We have to get to the bottom of this!!" Really??
