In that case, it was a private medical decision between an employer and his employee. Republicans are always yammering about the intrusion of government into our private lives. Why should we need to know why an employer grants a leave to an employee?artfugginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05364503656694166926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-47037393139274639452012-11-08T12:41:41.893-05:002012-11-08T12:41:41.893-05:00Yeah, Sort of like the way a prominent Indianapolis lobbyist took leave of absence from his law firm several years back, claiming a mental breakdown when the feds started questioning him about his corrupt role in the doling out of gambling licenses in this state. His mental illness magically went away when the feds stopped asking questions and he returned to work engaging in more corrupt behavior than ever. In fact, I believe that lobbyist personally knows Jesse Jackson, Jr. and probably offered advice to him.Gary R.

Rep. Jesse Jackson has been absent due to illness. On the other side, US Senator Mark Kirk has been absent far longer and also due to illness. Do we just dump office holders who are ill?artfugginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05364503656694166926noreply@blogger.com
