Jesse Jackson Jr.’s Been Snitching On Blagojevich For YEARS (Maybe!)


So Blagojevich tried to shake down Jesse Junior for $25K years ago, and Jesse was all, “I don’t think so,” and then Blaggy somehow made Mrs. Jesse Jackson Junior not get some sweet job, and then he was all, “Now you see what $25,000 is worth, you punk,” and Jesse Junior thought this over, for a couple of years, and then went straight to the U.S. Attorney’s office. Illinois is incredible. [CNN]

    A guy who acts like a governor before being governor deserves $25,000.

  2. tiny mexican says at 7:46 pm, December 16th, 2008

    If there is a Jesus, Blago will appear in court in a customized STOP SNITCHIN tracksuit.

  3. Scandalabra says at 7:47 pm, December 16th, 2008

    Jesse Jackson Jr. is the hottest Mandingo piece to come down the pike since a certain Barack Obama.

  4. Clyde Midia says at 7:57 pm, December 16th, 2008

    Almost 8 PM. Must.watch.Campbell.Brown.

  5. smellyal8r says at 7:57 pm, December 16th, 2008

    Yeah, my BS detector is running pretty high on this “Jesse admission”. Sounds like a man trying to save his career as he watches “Candidacy No. 5″ go down the drain.

  6. hockeymom says at 8:02 pm, December 16th, 2008

    Carmelo Anthony does not approve.

  7. ManchuCandidate says at 8:03 pm, December 16th, 2008

    This all sounds like a Mamet play.

    BL: Ahem
    Sticks hand out for payment
    JJ: Fuck you!
    BL: Well I’m gonna fuck over your wife.
    JJ: Fuck you, I’m gonna go to the feds.
    BL: What the fuck are they gonna fucking do? Arrest me? Hahahahahaha

    Fast forward years later
    JJ: Blaggy, the Feds just called and they told me to tell you: FUCK YOU!

  8. PeteJayhawk v2.0 says at 8:03 pm, December 16th, 2008

    smellyal8r: He’s not really admitting anything now. It’s coming out because of the investigation.

    Seriously, all these armchair Encyclopedia Browns trying to sound intelligent and discuss Illinois politics in the comments are annoying.

  9. Come here a minute says at 8:06 pm, December 16th, 2008

    Campbell just asked for our comments at cnn.com/campbell. MORE TRUCKNUTZ PLEEZ!!!

    OK, so the big ad worked! SUE ME.

  10. Scandalabra says at 8:12 pm, December 16th, 2008

    I hope CNN is paying at least $10,000 a day to park Campbell Brown here, cuz my “mental anguish” lawsuit is not going to be cheap.

  11. Re JJJ: Reminds me of the old line about “So, where’s James Earl Ray now that we REALLY need him?”

    But that was back when O.J. “The Juice Is LOOSE!” Simpson was in the news.

    Probably politically incorrect nowadays.

    What with Michael Jackson living in Dubai or wherever it is.

  12. I better not catch anyone on the east coast posting anything right now. Campbell Brown is on!

  13. SayItWithWookies says at 8:16 pm, December 16th, 2008

    Obviously Barack Hussein Obama is the sinister mastermind behind all of this. I can’t prove anything, but I feel it in my gut.

  14. villageatrois says at 8:18 pm, December 16th, 2008

    JJJr is pissed because he didn’t give the $25k and his wife didn’t get the job. I didn’t give the $25k either, and my wife also didn’t get the job. Can we talk class action here? Call me, JJJr. All major credit cards accepted.

  15. AngryBlakGuy says at 8:24 pm, December 16th, 2008

    …totally off topic; but Jesse Jackson Jr. wife is HOT!!!

  16. Rev. Juan MessyCan says at 8:30 pm, December 16th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: How’s that off-topic? I’d rather do him, but a shag with the Missus in lieu of 25k is not too indecent of a proposal. Or does Blaggy REALLY play for my team. I must hear more!

  17. AngryBlakGuy: yes she is, but in a very “white girl” way.
    but still…

  18. Jackie Treehorn says at 8:33 pm, December 16th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: She’s also a Chicago alderman.

  19. sarcasticusername says at 8:34 pm, December 16th, 2008

    @AngryBlakGuy: that was my first thought upon seeing this post.

    side note: PLEASE get campbell brown off my damn computer screen, she’s EVERYWHERE! it’s pissing me off to no end, i’ll never watch her fucking show now.

  20. Violenza says at 8:36 pm, December 16th, 2008

    THANK YOU. Finally some eye candy for the ladies/gay men after all this endless Campbell Brown looming. Can we put JJJr in the background instead please wearing Campbell Brown’s blazer with no shirt underneath?

  21. bitchincamaro says at 8:38 pm, December 16th, 2008

    Wait. That’s David Alan Grier on Chocolate News Network, right? He’s involved?

  22. I wonder what the US Attorney had on Jesse Jackson Jr. That’s how they usually get informants.

  23. Scandalabra: I second that… I was flipping through the channels and I saw the Campbell Brown listing and I was so inexplicabily drawn…
    in other news, I hate jj jr.

  24. tsunami: campbell brown is cute, too…but in a
    “white girl” way.

  25. blackdontcrack says at 8:56 pm, December 16th, 2008

    STOP SNITCHIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

  26. tsunami: I dunno, if you scroll to just the right spot, the “Edit profile” line crosses over Campbell’s face and it looks like she’s got grillz.

  27. sarcasticusername says at 9:07 pm, December 16th, 2008

    @ALIVE!: i totally just tried that & it cracked me the fuck up!

  28. ALIVE!: hmmm. i’m doing something wrong because
    i’m not seeing it.

  29. Beer4Prez says at 9:21 pm, December 16th, 2008

    JJJR does nothing for me. He’s got that ‘little-boy face on a grown man’s body. He compares in no way to Obama. No thoughts as to his wife, but i do have a though on Campbell brown messing up the format on my computer. Can she at least where a white suit so she doesn’t swallow half the words?

  30. Sire Says says at 9:25 pm, December 16th, 2008

    Campbell Brown is fucking out of control. HAHA this comment box runs right over her boobs.

  31. shortsshortsshorts says at 9:26 pm, December 16th, 2008

    It’s like CNN is desperately attempting to protect the innocence of a sack of poop with a gun in its hand.

  32. CARCUNTZ!(tm)-R-Us says at 9:32 pm, December 16th, 2008

    Violenza: That doesn’t bother me nearly as much as the Nekkid Obama on teh Unikornz.

  33. ioksotot23 says at 9:39 pm, December 16th, 2008

    JJJ= J.Jonah Jamison? Where is teh spidey?

  34. CAMPBELL BROWN

    What will Blago do in jail without his favorite Paul Mitchell hairbrush?

    If you use the Adblock Plus add-on for Firefox you can read the drudgereport without the annoying banner ads…

  37. shortsshortsshorts says at 9:51 pm, December 16th, 2008

    cal: That has been said so many times, even by this pair of shorts, but I cannot blame you. THOSE EYES. THOSE BRAZEN EYES!

  38. Giant Robot: If you add this link to you Ad blocker or in the Microsoft Web Browser to Tools->Internet Options->Privacy->Sites_Address of Website->Block, you can join our protest of the lack of Anderson Cooper advert themes by shutting out Camplbell Brown.

    Support the Coop! Down with Brown!

  39. villageatrois says at 10:01 pm, December 16th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: “pair of shorts” Uhh, mehbe triad of shorts? Mehbe used to be triad of pants?

  40. Flaming O says at 10:03 pm, December 16th, 2008

    Better Campbell Brown than Larry King. Think of that.
    No, wait.
    Don’t.

  41. shortsshortsshorts says at 10:06 pm, December 16th, 2008

    villageatrois: DO NOT SPEAK OF SUCH THINGS.
    They will ban me again. Then I have to use the third alternative, shortspantsshorts, which totally umm, KILLS STREET CRED. Word, er something.

  42. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 10:10 pm, December 16th, 2008

    Isn’t this how it always goes down. The young black man ratting out the older white man. Fight the Power!

    AngryBlakGuy:

    Hotness is never off topic here. Remember the priorities of Wonkette:

    Buttsex
    Gin
    All other forms of Alcohol
    Pot (West Coast division)
    Gay Restroom sex
    Straight Restroom sex
    All other forms of sex
    Pandas
    Humor
    Hatred of all things Paultard
    Politics
    The upcoming Rapture and Apocalypse

    Of course posting on any of those topics will get you immediately banned, but they are not off topic.

    (Speaking of which, aren’t we overdue for a purge? Or is Jim holding off until Christmas day?)

  43. Campbell Brown says at 10:12 pm, December 16th, 2008

    This is pretty interesting. I wish there was a sassy brunette who could comment on this, preferably without bias and “bull”. Perhaps on a local cable network, 8PM let’s say. Any ideas where to turn?

  44. shortsshortsshorts says at 10:14 pm, December 16th, 2008

    Lionel Hutz Esq.: Mr. Hutz I know you have been here a long time, but it is not buttsex. It is assfucking.

    Thank you.

  45. tsunami: It might not line up properly on every page. When it does, you’ll know.

  46. Can’t think of what Xmas gift for the guy (yes, guy) who has everything, even TRUCKNUTZ? How about a pair of these?

  47. villageatrois says at 10:33 pm, December 16th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: Such such such things shall then not be spake spake spake. I told my wife that there were people banned from Wonkette, and she asked what in the world could they have said that was beyond the bounds thereof?

    Well, you kinda see it, but it’s pretty hard to define.

    PS: I got her off my case by saying you were banned for cruelty to kittens. Sorry.

  48. SayItWithWookies says at 10:38 pm, December 16th, 2008

    ALIVE!: That’s sick. How many jackalopes had to die for those?!

  49. sarcasticusername says at 11:09 pm, December 16th, 2008

    @Campbell Brown: DROP DEAD! That Is All.

  50. I declare a Campell Brown Photo shop contest battle royal

  51. So he’s not such a congressman, more like a highly placed stool pigeon? Why does Wolf keep saying, “We know this is very very sensitive?” like he’s about to fucking circumcise us?

  52. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 12:15 am, December 17th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: Whoops. That’s a banning. It was nice knowing you all.

  53. AWOcoholic says at 12:33 am, December 17th, 2008

    Junior’s wife is smokin’ hot, btw.

  54. shortsshortsshorts says at 12:48 am, December 17th, 2008

    Has anybody else fapped to the different ways you can say Blagojevich?

    villageatrois: The kittens thing is totally acceptable in any book. Don’t read mine.
    Lionel Hutz Esq.: DO NOT GO AWAY EVER.

  55. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 2:32 am, December 17th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: Same back at you.

    Anyway, I can’t leave now. Apparently Campbell Brown has finally gotten all those letters I’ve been sending, and is now stocking me through Wonkette. I knew she would see that we were meant for each other.

  56. Are you trying to tell me that the lone voice of reason in this crazy world, Jesse Jackson Jr., has been ignored for years? Omaighot. Who has he been ratting to? If it’s anyone with the SEC, you can be fo’ sho’ that nobody listens. Always remember, anti-snitch advocates, JJ Jr isn’t an informer - he is an INFORMANT. Way big diff. Mmm-hmm.

    Also, Campbell Brown has been invading my nightmares. Every night, it’s her in cowboy boots riding the corpse of Timmeh. She asks me listen cut the bull, and then I wake up screaming.

    Last - I live in Chicago and Imma ’bout sick of the way this city does not remove ice and snow. So I blogged on it. I even gave Daley the Perez treatment, by scribbling in devil horns on his sizable forehead and splooge on his mouth. My revenge is my fun time.

    It does not suck.

  57. Makeithurt says at 5:16 am, December 17th, 2008

    Jackson is a slime bucket — just like his dear old dada.

  58. AngryBlakGuy: That was my thought, such as it was.

    Lionel Hutz Esq.: I miss the days of endless panda posts. Butterstick was so cute as a young pup.

  62. Schadenfried says at 9:45 am, December 17th, 2008

    tiny mexican: I will give Wonkette my Christmas bonus (believe or not, my company is giving one) if that happens.

    On topic, when did Jesse Jr marry Karrine “Superhead” Steffans?

  63. Schadenfried says at 9:49 am, December 17th, 2008

    Neilist: you cant haz racist

  64. Aquannissiwamissoo says at 10:00 am, December 17th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: Umm …. yup. With double sprinkles.

  65. norbizness says at 10:07 am, December 17th, 2008

    Jesse Jr. looks like Webster had he actually grown up like a normal person.

  66. Doglessliberal says at 10:21 am, December 17th, 2008

    ManchuCandidate: and Rebecca Pigeon plays Blaggy’s wife?

  67. I’m glad someone else mentioned Jesse’s missus is hot….

    And yes, Campbell is cute too, and an astute politacal observer as well, but do we have to have an almost life-size jpeg of her on the right side of the page??? Jesus…..

  68. Kev-O-Tron says at 12:06 pm, December 17th, 2008

    ManchuCandidate: I actually fell for this when I read it. I’m dumb but it’s real funny.

    http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/12/12/142929/59/901/672355

  69. actually Juniors wife looks a LOT like a certain other Jackson who had a “wardrobe malfunction”… and speaking of wardrobe malfunctions…why can’t our lovely Campbell have one?

  70. frombinarian: from your mouth to god’s ears it should be life size!

  71. Jukesgrrl says at 3:20 pm, December 17th, 2008

    Scandalabra: You can make that lawsuit a class action lawsuit because she’s everywhere and the sufferers are legion. I can see the commercials to come: “Are you suffering from palsy, nightsweats, and projectile vomiting every time you see the letters C-N-N? You may be eligible to receive money from Campbell Brown! Call Blagojevich and Blagojevich to see if you have what it takes to be included in this pay-out ordered by the courts. Call today!

  72. Scandalabra: Dude - just block the image with your web browser and kwitcherbitchin.

    Does every thread need to be Campbelljacked?
