Jesse Jackson's Poetic Admission to an affair?-Fiction!

Jesse Jackson's "Poetic" Statement About His Affair-Fiction!

Summary of the eRumor:
The email (posted below) is signed as though written by Rev. Jesse Jackson and poetically admits and tries to explain an affair with another woman.

The Truth:
This was not written by Rev. Jackson and is obviously a piece of creative writing about the affair that was revealed in January of 2001. TruthOrFiction.com has received numerous emails from readers who thought it may be real. Jackson admitted to the affair and to having fathered a child born to one of the women who worked in his Rainbow-PUSH Coalition.

A real example of the eRumor as it has appeared on the Internet:

Due to the great consternation caused by the revelation of my act of
procreation, I accept my obligation to give an explanation to the
population for my act of copulation. I gave in to temptation, for the
anticipation of sexual gratification, that I could not obtain through
masturbation, resulted in my fornication.

I accepted her invitation, and provided her with excitation,
stimulation, penetration, replication, and liberation. She provided
lubrication to avoid inflammation, and I wore condoms to avoid
contamination. She cried for duplication, but I insisted upon
termination, in spite of her fascination with variation.

This has caused me great aggravation, and the agitation and
provocation of the media has resulted in my humiliation, denigration,
and degradation. My wife is considering castration, which would
require my hospitalization.

Pray that this matter will find culmination in my sanctification and
rehabilitation so that my plans for nomination to my ultimate vocation
will not result in revocation and termination.

I hope this proclamation has provided illumination and verification
and will prohibit further provocation.

Sincerely,

The Rev. Jesse Jackson
