Things are not looking good for Jesse Jackson Jr.

At all.

At least this will have spared us "Sen. Jesse Jackson Jr."

Also, it looks like Rham Emanuel is feeling a bit overwrought.

From TimesOnline:

Mr Emanuel skipped Mr Obama's press conference, which he typically attends. Cornered by a Chicago Sun-Times reporter at a concert at his children's school, he refused to comment.

"I'm not going to say a word to you," Emanuel said. "I'm going to do this with my children. Don't do that. I'm a father. I have two kids. I'm not going to do it."

Asked, "Can't you do both?" Mr Emanuel replied, "I'm not as capable as you. I'm going to be a father. I'm allowed to be a father."

You just know he is wracking his brain trying to remember exactly what he said in those taped conversations with Gov. Blagojevich.
