"And a growing belief that while he could talk with the best of them, what he said was not always necessarily true.
Nonetheless, Reynolds was re-elected in 1994, largely with suburban support.
But very soon, the young emperor's clothes began to unravel.
Sensationally, there were allegations, and then criminal charges, of sex with an underage girl. A one-time campaign aide admitted, and then tried to take back, that she and Reynolds had shared an affair when she was 16."
Hmmmm .... Mel really reminds me of someone else who recently held political office.

I was working in Chicago TV at the time this story happened, and can tell you that there's a good deal of this that never came out.
I saw the pictures that were at the heart of the case. As a father, if it had been my daughter, there would have been no trial.

So we can thank Slimy Bill Clinton for letting this particular weed back on the streets?

This steams me BIG TIME.
On Hannity and Colmes some moron was saying he had "payed his debt" while adding a meek "he's not my favorite canditate" and Colmes agreed he "has a right to run" although he "doesn't support him".
Moron also said when challenged that "he'd have to face those accusations again". Accusations?!?!? He's on tape!!!! He was convicted by a jury!!!
Reynolds is a CHILD MOLESTER. I can't believe Jackson Jr. is the good choice here. Reynolds should still be locked up.
Even though he has zero chance too win he should be thrown back in jail if just for his gall.
