Big surprise here...Chicago Female Aldermen flock to save a corrupt family... Female Chicago aldermen unite behind Ald. Sandi Jackson, one of their own

The sorority of female aldermen on Thursday closed ranks behind one of their own — Ald. Sandi Jackson (7th) — amid word that Jackson’s newly re-elected husband, U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Il.), is negotiating a plea deal and may have used campaign funds to buy a $40,000 Rolex for a female friend.

The post-election plea bargaining was galling enough to Sandi Jackson’s sisters in the City Council. Even more upsetting was the public humiliation that Sandi Jackson is enduring once again because of her husband’s alleged philandering. “In every marriage somewhere down the line, you think that your husband might fool around on you, but not necessarily commit adultery. Being a high-profile person, how constrained could he be? But, to have it all now slammed in her face. That has got to be so humiliating, it’s like, I don’t want to get out of bed,” said Ald. Carrie Austin (34th), chairman of the City Council’s Budget Committee.
