....for the politically correct on these pages. You know, the panderes and the 'see-no-evil' do-gooders who refuse to criticize Jesse "The Spitter" Jackson because he's black. Well, the good Dr Wogga would like to balance this media bias with this nice little tidbit:
Jessie Jackson has added former Chicago democratic congressman Mel
Reynolds to the 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 & 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. Is this a great country or
what?
