You can't make up stuff better than this!

Ain't politics grand?

Mel Reynolds

Jesse 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 believed to be 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 job?

IS THIS A GREAT COUNTRY OR WHAT?

We all need to pray for the future of the US. This man was probably close to being the new Senator form IL as well.

"He is more notorious, however, for concurrently serving five years for sleeping with an underage campaign volunteer. "

To be precise, I don't think he spent five years for sleeping.

She was afraid to sleep alone.

She was afraid to sleep alone.

See I knew there was a logical and compassionate reason for him to do what he did.
