Jessie Jackson, Jr., former Congressman, son of Reverend Jessie Jackson, pleaded guilty today to using $750,000 in campaign contributions for personal benefit. Congressman Jackson's is a strange case. Last June he disappeared. Just didn't show up for work in Washington, Chicago, anywhere. Never did show up for work again. Didn't campaign for reelection in November but got reelected anyway. At some point it was revealed that he was severely depressed. He was treated at the Mayo Clinic for a time.  Even these scanty details had to be dragged out of those closest to him. Very strange. Then he resigned from Congress and now has pled guilty to a federal crime. Today in court, Jackson showed great grace in getting up from the defense table and going over to the prosecutor's table to shake the hand of the FBI agent who investigated him.
