“The 2nd Congressional District of Illinois has quite the history of sending real pieces of work to Washington: first Gus Savage, then Mel Reynolds, then Jesse Jackson, Jr.”
And what do all three have in common, besides their district and political party?
Well, I was going to say facial hair, but Gus was always clean-shaven and Jesse has been the past few years. So that can’t be it. Savage is a rabid anti-Semite, and Jesse might be considering who is father is. I don’t know about Mel. How about none of them could keep their hands off of women who aren’t their wives?
