Ain't politics grand?
Jesse Jackson's Newest Staff Member
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 ElectionCommission. 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??

Once again the News is weirder than the Sci-Fi channel.
Anyway the Clinton crowd is pretty corrupt. No doubt about that.
Look - I would be the first one to forgive the man. I have a great heart for people that need to be forgiven for the things that they have done recently or in past events.
But, we all know that when people want forgiveness it has to come with consequences.
To allow this person a job as a youth counselor is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.
C'mon - Can't you find another job for this guy that does not include children or finances?
Jeez.......

I would have been shocked had these individuals had no connection to one another. This is the type of "stuff" I expect from these people and they never disappoint me.
