Subject: A First in American Politics
Jessie Jackson has added former Chicago
democratic congressman Mel Reynolds to the
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 & 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?
