    As far as Jesse Jr is concerned…

    Black folk don’t come back. They can only come back with other Black folk, and Black folk were never Jesse Jr’s problem to begin with.

    While I will never say never, I will say this:

    His ambitions have just been derailed for a decade.

    He already had 1 1/2 strikes against him - his name was Jesse Jackson, Jr.

    And though, there’s no chance he’ll lose his Congressional seat - any hope for anything statewide is now gone.

    PERIOD.

    And no way to Obama appointing him to anything - that road is gone too, until a second Obama term.

    He just better be content with being in Congress, and that his wife has solidified her control over their Ward - she is both the Alderman and Committeeman - which means, nothing happens in that ward without her permission, and……

    You can fill in the and…..

    That ward sits on the largest parcel of undeveloped lakefront land.

    So, you fill in the and….

    Jesse Jr. should have known better. When a weasel like Luis Gutierrez backs away from something, that should have been the signal : RUN FOR THE HILLS.

    Rikyrah, Jesse Jackson, Jr. is more than done. He may even turn out to be the fall guy for the US Government and the Gov. let's see how this plays out.

    I don't believe he'll be the fall guy. Not now, that he's been revealed to being a snitch. The curious thing about this Blago case isn't that he was arrested. Everyone has been thinking he'd be arrested for the past 4 or 5 years. The thing is what he was arrested FOR.

    THEY SAID that Rezko was singing like a bird.

    And, if what THEY SAID was true, then why wasn't the Governor arrested on stuff with regards to Rezko? After all, Rezko's been arrested, tried and convicted. Folks connected to Rezko have been arrested, tried and convicted. Wouldn't it make sense that the Governor would be arrested with regards to THAT case?

    This gets more curious, but JJJ saved himself, IMO, by being a snitch.
