American Politics at normal stride....

Ain't politics grand?

Jesse Jackson's New Staff Member

Mel Reynolds

Jessie Jackson has added former Chicago Democrat 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?

Ready for this??
