JESSE JACKSON’S NEW STAFF MEMBER
It doesn’t get any better than this:
Jesse Jackson has added former Chicago democratic congressman Mel Reynolds to Rainbow/PUSH Coalition’s payroll.
Reynolds was among the 176 criminals excused in President Clinton’s last-minute forgiveness spree. Reynolds received a commutation of his six-and-a-half-year federal sentence for 15 convictions of wire fraud, bank fraud and lies to the Federal Election Commission.
He is more notorious, however, for concurrently serving five years for sleeping with an underage campaign volunteer.
This is a first in American politics:
An ex-congressman who had sex with a subordinate…
won clemency from a president who had sex with a subordinate…
then was hired ! by a clergyman who had sex with a subordinate.
His new job? ……… Youth counselor.
IS THIS A GREAT COUNTRY OR WHAT?

I found your site through, actually I’m not sure what, but it’s quite interesting. I got a kick out of those ‘ponders’ also, what a laugh!

Careful, Paul ! There’s a good chance your ex-Congressman could get poached by our administration here in the UK if they get to hear of him !
What is the point? I thought you had to have a criminal record in order to run for a political office.
