Jesse Jackson Jr. official portrait, somewhat altered |
Yesterday Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) called for Junior to step forward and tell his constituents what he is being treated for. This afternoon Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) issued the same call.
This story is the opposite of the Costa Concordia shipwreck. As long as the ship sits on its side at sea--it's a story. And as long as Jackson keeps us in the dark about what he is being treated for--it's a story.
However, former House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) defended Junior's silence.
With that attitude, it's easy to understand how Hoyer got to be the former majority leader.
