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??

IS THIS A GREAT COUNTRY OR WHAT?

Fooled me. I live on FreeRepublic.

Got the email yesterday from a very close friend.

He never indicated it was as old as Moses.

Mel Reynolds, sexual predator, sounds like a fitting associate for Jesse Jack-Off.
