Not insinuating.. just wondering.. How bad did Rev. Jackson want his son to have the senate seat?

[snowbear]

I mean... ... could it even be possible that he would intervene without his son's knowledge?



It's not even remotely a possibility..

.....right?

1. Bad enough to insult Obama in the fox news studio with a live mic on.

[ecstatic]

2. that's interesting. And they seem to butt heads a lot

ugghh.. let's hope he didn't ruin his son's career.

[mucifer]

4. Jesse Jr. had to renounce his father's comments. It' was pretty ugly.

[Thrill]

3. Jr wanted the seat too bad. He didn't hide that at all after Obama won

Hopefully he didn't go too far by sending someone to offer money.

[Jennicut]

5. Nothing to indicate that he did, it was all Blago's hearsay

[snowbear]

6. No. No... that's not what I was asking..

I mean...

Would it even be possible that Reverend Jackson, Sr. could have tried to finagle something without his son's knowledge?

[Bjorn Against]

7. Let's not go there without evidence, there is no evidence of any role by his father.

[monmouth]

9. Reverend Jackson is "old school pol"... We're pretty close in age, and

if he wanted this for his son, well, who knows. In all fairness to the Rev. this is the way things were done back in the day when he and MLK had to fight and scrape for anything they wanted/needed. If he did no doubt there will be hell to pay from his son, but the Rev. is a pretty smart guy and had to know what a sleaze Blag is. I doubt he'd get involved with this guy.

12. Anything is possible......

But again, what Gov. Blago said that someone said to him that was told to us by someone else doesn't really lend for us to be obliged at speculating as to what some 3rd party might have or might not have discussed with Blago.

So although it may sound like something that Fizgerald might want to ponder and look into.....I don't think that it is our job to speculate our way to the bottom of this....as it won't most likely work, and it might instead wreck lives further then they need to be wrecked. Since the media is doing such a fantastick job on their own, I say, let them figure it out.

You know what I mean? :(

8. "Hopefully he didn't go too far by sending someone to offer money." Fact:

"...federal officials say the recordings did not pick up any conversations with Candidate 5 or the emissary."

[JVS]

10. Maybe this is the cutting off of the balls that he mentioned.

[redstate_democrat]

11. You know what's more probable?

Blagojevich lying. Yeah, I know, it seems really far fetched, but believe me, he has a history of doing things like that.

[snowbear]

13. You're probably right...

And his wife even... ... sounds like she's as much of a nutcase as Blago is!

[Kahuna]

14. That's what I've been wondering. Whether Sr. is the so-called emissary. nt

[rvablue]

15. Factoid: they were both at the Election Night speech, but nowhere near each other

this is per an interview I saw with JJJ. Kind of curious, huh, given the history of the night.

I don't think things have been so cozy between father and son since he called bad on his dad for wanting to cut off Obama's balls.

[xchrom]

16. details of the investigation will tell us. -- but think 6 -- or less --

degrees of separation.

[ShortnFiery]

17. Almost as bad as Bloomberg and Teddy wants Caroline Kennedy to snag the Senate Seat for NY State.

Both these Senate Appointments - STINK of nepotism and cronyism. :puke:
