Rev. Jesse Jackson

A disappointing book. Frick and frack on something they (and their ghost writer) know absolutely nothing about.

Nowhere does Jesse Jackson, Jr. cover stealing money entrusted to him as a prime source of wealth acquisition and life style maintenance. Perhaps, seeing as how he is now going to have much free time on his hands, he will update the book on that subject.

Nowhere does Sr. discuss getting free stuff from the government - the second of his two plank political ideology (the first being get whitey) - or about huckstering (e.g., a Budweiser Beer Distributorship) from businesses afraid of his boycott rhetoric, or about how to finagle a Coca-Cola distributorship for his half brother Noah Robinson (now doing a life sentence for attempting to murder his partner).

I was really disappointed that Jesse's other sons, Yusef and Jonahtan Jackson, did not provide a chapter on attempting to illegally or at least disreputably extract money from the City of Chicago to move the aforementioned beer distributorship to a new location.
