Jesse Sr. No timetable on son's return to Congress

The Rev. Jesse Jackson, April 7, 2012
The drip...drip...drip of news continues from the Jesse Jackson, Jr. camp. The latest piecemeal revelation comes from his father.

From AP:
The Rev. Jesse Jackson says his congressman son's treatment at the Mayo Clinic for depression is a "game changer."

The elder Jackson spoke to reporters about U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. on Saturday outside a Chicago movie theater. The civil rights leader was with protesters supporting an assault weapons ban. Jackson said there is no timetable on his son's recovery and asked for prayers for their family.
At some point it's fair to ask whoever is speaking for Junior if he's going to return to Congress. Unlike Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois, Jackson's office and his spokespersons have not been forthcoming about his treatment.

The House Ethics Committee is investigating Junior for his alleged role in the attempted sale of Barack Obama's old Senate seat.
