    Jackson Sued Over No-Show

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

    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 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)

    80k a speech and private jets. The bidness treating you well brother.

    Winehole you're better than acting like I give a you figured out my past screen name. I get tired of screen names easily. This is like my 9th or 10th in the one year I have graced Spurstalk.com BFD.

    However, I am greatly impressed in how you finally managed to use few words to say few things.

    Rev. Jackson is much more important than Banks dood.

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

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

    Do you have either?

    You care very much about all of it. That's what makes it funny.

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

    Do you think Jackson is reading this?
