Is This a Great Country or What?
Jessie Jackson has added former Chicago democratic Congressman Mel Reynolds to the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition's payroll. Reynolds was among the 176 criminals pardoned in President Clinton's last 20 minutes in office.
Reynolds received a commutation of his six-and-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 also had sex with a subordinate.
His new job? Youth counselor.
Is this a great country or what?
