The son of the infamous Jesse Jackson who's mantra all fall as Obama became President was, "It shoulda been me" has now been deeply embroiled in the Blago scandal.
It seems like someone without Jackson's permission or knowledge offered Blago big money to put Jackson in place.
Who? Unless you are brain dead, the first person coming to mind was Jesse Jackson SR. Or one of his men. It's his style. The Jackson family in Chicago is famous for being shakedown artists. So being shook down is part of "The Chicago Way".
To be fair, I believe Jesse Jr when he says he knew nothing. Just as I believe Obama when he says I know nothing. It's plausible deniability. I get that.
I think the Karma of the whole thing is that what went around has now come around. Some years ago the Jackson's shook down Budweiser for their own benefit. Obstensivly to benefit the black community in Chicago. The only blacks benefited were the Jacksons.
And I think Blago and Jackson Sr understand each other. Megalomania speaks it's own convoluted language.
So, it's no surprise that somehow bribes were offered and apparently ready to be accepted.
That's why Blago was arrested.
Jesse Jackson Jr was caught. He is innocent, kinda. The sins of the fathers in this case are being visited upon the sons and daughters.
What went around has now come around. This isn't going to go well.
