He spoke to the Chicago Tribune by telephone. The congressman could not be reached for confirmation. Boehner´s office also could not be immediately reached for comment. Check back for details.

Amazing. This is the entire article.

Who´s surprised? The racialist zombies of his district put him back in office even though no one has seen him in months and months. He couldn´t buy a Senate seat, but I´d be willing to bet that he´s selling a House seat.

That´s not the entire article. It´s now nine paragraphs long.

Appoint Blago to finish his term. There´s nothing in the Constitution to prevent it.

Details will emerge.

Unless Holder and Obama - for unknown reasons - really want him ruined he will get a great deal.

And the Ethics Committee? Real tigers they are. But you never know. And it would be fun to watch the CBC rant and rave if the EC actually punished Jackson.

Not to worry, they´ll find someone just as debauched to take his place.

He knew he was going to resign, why run again ? To assure another dem for the position ?

Will he now be subjected to 0bamacare, or does he still get the exemption for members of Congress?

Guess this means "Revrun Juh-ack-sun´s" spawn is financially secure for life at taxpayers´ expense. In the last week or so, he said he wouldn´t resign unless he was promised a life-long Congressional pension.

Liberals are a pain in my lower backside.

Expel him and strip him of all future beneftis "for cause."

This [pre-deleted] stole months of paychecks and defrauded his district, his state, and the nation by keeping his seat while performing none of its duties, and by going underground.

Expel him.

Reminds me of the old Earl Butz joke. Now, Jackson has all three: Tight p**sy, loose shoes and a warm place to take a crap.

Done and done.

Does he get to keep his retirement or does he get collect disability for the rest of his life, thanks to the taxpayers?

Jesse Jackson, Jr. said he would resign if he could get disability payments; that would be on top of his very generous government pension, I presume. What a dirtbag.

Jesse Jackson Jr. has been missing in action for some time now, this only makes it official.

Didn´t he just get re-elected to his seat? What´s up with THAT campaign? If he was just going to resign anyway, why did he even run?

Just drop a net over the next person walking down the street, ship him (or her) off to Washington, and let that individual keep the seat warm.

Little Racist, Jr. was doing a good job wasting a Democrat seat in the House. I was kind of hoping he would continue to waste his seat and his vote as he continued his role of the Howard Hughes of the Chicago Democrat Party. But he kept the Obamaphones and EBT cards flowing to his ghetto slaves, so they returned him back into office with a healthy margin.

The new term hasn´t started, can´t the poor guy who ran against him win thevseat by default? It doesn ´t seem right to pass over a candidate at least some people voted for in order to install someone no one voted for. I know that would involve integretity, but can´t a citizen dream?

Counting this clown, where does the tally now stand on how many corrupt black politicians have resigned or been forced from office?

Oh yeah. One.

The conservative writer Quin Hillyer says he’s “laying down” his pen and running for Congress in Alabama. Hillyer, who most recently worked for The American Spectator, The Washington Times and The Washington Examiner, became the first to throw his hat in the contest after the unexpected resignation of Republican Rep. Jo Bonner on Thursday. "When an opportunity comes to do something good, one must grab it,” Hillyer wrote on the American Spectator blog. Hillyer, once an aide to former Louisiana Rep. Bob Livingston, is well-known in the political community of Mobile, Alabama, where he now lives.

Washington - President Obama, seemingly preoccupied, forgot one piece of protocol as he boarded Marine One on his way to Annapolis Friday. Obama walked past the Marine at the bottom of the helicopter´s stairs and didn´t give the traditional salute. Realizing his mistake upon entering Marine One the president pivoted in the doorway, jogged back down, shook hands and spoke briefly with the Marine before boarding the helicopter for a second time.

Key Democrats say Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner didn´t give up her Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination by giving an opening statement at a House hearing on Wednesday. Democrats on the Oversight panel said they want Lerner to testify about the IRS’s targeting of conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status, and are not defending her decision to invoke the Fifth Amendment. But Lerner’s Constitutional rights are clear, the Democrats argue, and committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) will be wasting the panel’s time and resources waging a losing battle against her attorneys while the FBI conducts

CHARLOTTE, NC - The woman at the center of a scandal that helped bring down the director of the CIA said she is sorry about what happened. Paula Broadwell told TV station WSOC in Charlotte that she regrets how her affair with David Petraeus affected others. "I have remorse for the harm that this has caused, the sadness it has caused my family and other families," Broadwell said in the first sit down interview since the scandal broke six months ago.

Former 2012 presidential candidate Jon Huntsman is forming a new PAC dedicated to helping elect like-minded Republican candidates across the country. Huntsman says he’s undecided on his future plans and the 2016 race, but the new Red Rock PAC will give him a perch from which to speak and travel — as well as give him access to a network of candidates, donors and potential future surrogates for any presidential candidacy. “It’s way early,” Huntsman told POLITICO about the 2016 race. “For this year and next year, it will be more about talking about

Last month, a Kaiser Foundation poll pegged Obamacare’s public support at a tepid 35 percent. A new survey from Fox News confirms that finding. Asked if they’d rather to keep the new law in place or erase it from the history books and revert back to the 2009 system, Americans say they’d strongly prefer turning back the clock: 22. Do you think it would be better to leave the new health care law in place, or would it be better to go back to the health care system that was in place in 2009? Better to keep law:

The Washington Post carried a huge, almost life-size picture of Jay Carney’s head in the Style section on Friday. But it was designed as a pick-me-up for the embattled Obama spinner. It was a story about...Carney and his favorite rock band. “Benghazi and the IRS have kept Carney scrambling, and he hasn’t had much time to listen to ‘English Little League,’ the latest album from the Ohio indie-rock band [Guided by Voices] he has affectionately name-dropped in more than one news briefing.” Critics want Carney canned, but the Post wants him to feel happy about the “beer-soaked brilliance”

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

Very excited to graduate for my master´s degree in Chicano studies! You´re never too old or too busy to continue your education!" the actress wrote on her Who Say site Wednesday, sharing loads of pics of her big day, posing with her family, cohorts and diploma.

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”
