Notice that i didn't say that he was from Chicago.

Chris Mathews of MSNBC says that is a "racist code word", similar to "golf".

I'm not surprised that he committed fraud - he is a Democrat, after all.

Maybe he will be Blagojevich's cellmate.

Quote:
In addition to the federal investigation of his campaign finances, Jackson had been the subject of a House ethics committee probe over an alleged bribe offered by a Jackson supporter in 2008 to then-Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich.

The bribe was said to be intended to entice Blagojevich to appoint Jackson to the U.S. Senate seat vacated by President Barack Obama. Jackson has admitted to lobbying for the seat, but denied knowing about any money offered to Blagojevich, who has since been convicted of corruption and imprisoned.
