Has anyone else seen this? I got it in an email and my first thought was that it's fake so I wanted to ask if anyone else has heard it and knows whether or not it's true. If it is, all I can do is shake my head at the kind of politicians (not to mention Jackson being a clergyman) we're dealing with in the US.
Urban Legends, says this is true
Jesse Jackson's New Staff Member
Jessie Jackson has added former Chicago Democrat 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?
