THE JESSE JACKSON JR. PLEA DEAL

Ken Berwitz

In case you are not aware, here is the result of the plea deals cut by former U.S. Representative Jesse Jackson Jr., and his wife, former Chicago Alderman Sandra Jackson:

-Him:  Prosecutors have recommended a sentence of 46 - 57 months in prison for felony fraud, which he has accepted.  Jackson Jr.'s exact words:  "Guilty, Your Honor.  I misled the American people,"

-Her:  Prosecutors are seeking a sentence of 18 to 24 months in prison for filing false tax statements, presumably covering up her husband's felony misuse of campaign money (about $750,000 worth).  She, too, has pled guilty.

The reason I ask whether you are aware of the fact that this highest-of-high-profile US Representative and his Alderman wife pled guilty?  Because, it seems to me that these guilty pleas received less coverage and fewer mentions in the cable news shows than the fact that Marco Rubio took a swig of spring water during his response to President Obama's State of the Union address.

Obviously, two Democrats copping jail-time pleas for felonious behavior is less important than the fact that a Republican drinks water.

And, yes, these are the same "journalists" who squeal like stuck pigs if you call them biased.

We're Hopelessly Partisan

hopelesslypartisan.com, is a web site which is dedicated to honest, blunt, debate on the issues of our time.

-------------------------------

At "Hopelessly Partisan" we discuss all issues, big and small. Such as:

-Could the Obama administration have been more inept, incompetent, misfeasant and dishonest about the attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya?

-When will President Obama stop lying about the effect of the sequester - which is doing little other than saving the taxpayers money?

-What century will Egyptian women's rights wind up in after the Muslim Brotherhood is through?

-How many layoffs and reduced hours will companies inflict on workers because they are forced to pay for ObamaCare?

-After Hagel and Brennan, is Obama finished with picking anti-Israel appointments, or will there be more?

- Right down to:

-Who wants Piers Morgan least? The USA or the UK?

-Will Lindsey Lohan dry up, just go away, or both? (I'm rooting for both)

-Does anyone care that Chris Hayes has a show on MSNBC - including his immediate family?

In here, nothing is sacred and nothing is out of bounds.

So settle back, preferably after laughing your way through a copy of "The Hopelessly Partisan Guide To American Politics", and let the battle begin. In this blog, your opinion counts every bit as much as anyone else's, maybe even more.

And to show that my willingness to provide all sides of the issues is sincere, here are links to a variety of web sites, from the left, the middle (more or less) and the right. Read them and either smile in agreement or gnash your teeth in anger!!
