Jackson Sued Over No-Show

Lawsuit: Despite $75,000 fee, private jet, reverend skipped speech

http://i.cdn.turner.com/trutv/thesmokinggun.com/graphics/art4/0501092inside1.jpg MAY 1--Want to book Jesse Jackson for a speech? Make sure you have $75,000 and a private jet available. That's what the reverend charged for a late-2007 speech in Trinidad, but then never showed for the appearance, according to a lawsuit filed yesterday in Chicago. The AEI Speakers Bureau is suing Jackson for $100,000, claiming that his no-show cost the firm a $63,932 commission and left them with a $36,068 bill for a chartered private jet. Jackson's signed agreement with AEI, a copy of which you'll find below, called for him to address a November 2007 political rally for the United National Congress. According to a complaint (http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2009/0501092jesse2.html) filed in Cook County Circuit Court, Jackson "cited a desire to avoid the perception of showing favoritism to a Trinidad and Tobago political party as his reason for not fulfilling his contractual duties." It does not appear that Jackson pocketed his $75,000 fee. In addition to Jackson, AEI arranged paid speaking gigs at the gathering for Al Sharpton and Martin Luther King III, both of whom flew commercial to Trinidad. (4 pages)

I'm just trying to fit into the americant have-not culture, buddy.

[ChumpDumper]

Right, people don't want to pay you to speak, so you have that money not and want to bitch about it.

[FaithInOne]

I need a minority to lead.

Evidently it pays well.

[ChumpDumper]

You need to have some kind of talent for speaking and notoriety.

Do you have either?

[PixelPusher]

[FaithInOne]

I wonder if chumps actually believes I care about $540 shoes, $30,000 Wedding Rings, $75k speeches, & Private Jets and not the enjoyment of throwing the game back at the fucks who created it.

[Winehole23]

Politics of resentment.

[ChumpDumper]

I wonder if chumps actually believes I care about $540 shoes, $30,000 Wedding Rings, $75k speeches, & Private Jets and not the enjoyment of throwing the game back at the fucks who created it.You care very much about all of it. That's what makes it funny.

[FaithInOne]

Really? That's weird. You know more about me than me.

You're a profound omnipotent man Chumpster.

[ChumpDumper]

Really, what is "throwing the game back at the fucks who created it" anyway?

Do you think Jackson is reading this?
