Jesse Jackson Jr. is exhausted.

Well how bout that. I didn’t even know black men could get that. I thought exhaustion was something only rich white girls with no jobs could get treated for.

Illinois Democratic Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. has been on “a medical leave of absence” from Congress since June 10, his office announced Monday.

A statement revealed that he “is being treated for exhaustion” and offered no additional details—the first public confirmation of Jackson’s absence. “He asks that you respect his family’s privacy,” the statement read.

I guess I’d be tired too if I was slinging it in all up and through other women and trying to start fist fights on the floor of the House of Representatives. Granted, that was a few years ago and Triple Jay says he’s changed his ways since then, but clearly something don’t smell right.

You don’t just randomly get exhausted from your taxing day job of passing no laws and making no progress on the economy.
