Is this a great country or what?

It doesn't get any better than this. Only in America.

Jessie Jackson has added former Chicago democratic congressman
Mel Reynolds 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? Youth counselor.
