ONLY IN AMERICA

JESSE JACKSON’S NEW STAFF MEMBER

Jessie Jackson has added former Chicago Democrat congressman Mel Reynolds to the “Rainbow/PUSH Coalition’s,” payroll.

Reynolds was among the 176 criminals excused in President Clinton’s last-minute presidntial pardon and 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?
