I just heard about this 20 min. ago...a co-worker told me. I went on the net (msnbc) and got the scoop. First of all I have never really been a big fan of Jesse Jackson's - he seemed rather arrogant to me -and although he has done a lot of good things for African-Americans and people in general - I never really liked him. Secondly no matter what title you put before his name, Rev, Pope, Deacon, President, etc he is still just a man and we all fall short of the Glory of God. Man would expect one who claims to be "called" by God to be able to restrain himself from sin. But when it comes down to it he is still a man...and sin is sin...regardless of the magnitude or consequences. So if he stole a candybar from the store, killed a man, cheated on his wife, lied....it is all sin and the results of the sin may effect him or others in different ways...but it is all sin. I am not condoning what he did nor am I comparing cheating on your wife to stealing a candybar. I am just saying I can't judge the man for what he did.
MandingoNUPE...yes the woman should be facing the music too! She obviously knew who Jesse was and she had to have known the brother was married!!! But if the press finds out who she is she and the little girl will never have a moments peace. The press will run her down every chance they get.
Sensational08...he may have used a condom - nothing is 100%.
The ironic thing about the situation is that in 1998 - Jesse was the one at the White House praying with the Clinton's and counseling the President about the Monica L. scandal and probably all around the same time he had his own "little Monica".
