Pelosi: Jackson should take all the time he needs
(CNN) - Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. should take all the time he needs to get well now that his office has announced the Illinois Democrat is under treatment for a mood disorder, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Thursday.
Jackson, son of civil rights leader the Rev. Jesse Jackson, has not been on Capitol Hill since late May. In June, his office announced he was taking a leave of absence because he was suffering from a "medical condition."

I've had bipolar disease for years. It is very, very treatable and I wish Rep Jackson all the best.
That's true he can read about the bill he passed after he gets back.
Any way you can go out for a few years we wouldn't miss you and Congress would be better off.

Ya, so we can keep paying him for trying to out drink Teddy "I Never Saw a Bottle of Scotch I Didn't Like" Kennedy?
I think Boehner needs to check in somewhere. He has all the traits of an alcohol abuser. Eyes, complexion, mood swings. It's all there. Take your time. Take all the time you need to get well.
