Former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. and his hubris on steroids

(Former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. was charged with misusing hundreds of thousands of campaign dollars for personal use.)
**************
Another argument for public financing of federal/state elections.
Jackson Jr.’s action on the money smacks of hubris on steriods.
And his wife is also caught in the web.
Jackson’s personal use stuff included a $43,350 gold-plated men’s Rolex watch.
Jackson can try to hide behind a claim of bi-polar mental illness, but this Rolex stuff is more likely case of hubris, arrogant stupidity.
His plea bargaining may produce a suspended sentence, community service and full restitution of the money.
His father has been a productive civil rights leader for decades, but there has also been previous investigations of money spent by his Rainbow Coalition.
Hubris may be in the family DNA.
