You can't make up stuff better than this! Isn't politics grand?

Jesse Jackson's Newest Staff Member: Mel Reynolds

Jesse Jackson has added former Chicago Democrat Congressman Mel 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??
