Ain't politics grand?

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?
Ready for this??

Sounds like that guy will fit right in with Jessie Jackson & Michel Jackson....
Wish they would all find the Rainbow to No Where, and go somewhere else...
Maybe they will get hit by lightining or something, send them on a long plane trip, with about 5 gallons of fuel... Ya know.. Honest mistake, just like Politics....
Sorry..... ya know what, no I'm not.....
PFDAN's to ALL !!!!

It doesn't inspire faith in their organization, but is small potato corruption compared to having traitors in the White House ... people who illegally revealed the identity of undercover CIA agents in an attempt to smear/punish critics of a flawed Iraq policy.
Quote:
In September 2003, the White House had said anyone who leaked classified information in the case would be dismissed. Bush reiterated that promise last June, saying he would fire anyone found to have disclosed the CIA officer's name.
President Bush {recently} qualified his pledge to dismiss any White House official found to have leaked the name of a CIA operative, saying Monday that "if someone committed a crime" he would be fired.

What happened to those conservatives who were making a ruckus about whitewater, travel-gate, or Miss Monica?? Strange silence when politicians betray their country for partisan reasons. And the pledge to fire anyone who leaked such information transmutated into a delaying tactic of pass-the-buck to the prosecutor; if the leak is found to be illegal, then the leaker is out of there.
Yes, Bush flip-flops and shows his true character. Loyalty to his co-conspirators who lied us into a war is more important than loyalty to country and principles.
Ain't politics grand??

Is anyone starting to see why faith has to be separated from government, or no?

Well, the opinion on that question will vary, but what I DO think needs to end, is career politics as well as elimination of all political media spending. I think they should get an allotted equal time on air, radio and print. That's it. Money really has no business in politics other than for programs to help the people, regardless of what you believe. (and yes, this can include helping our fellow human beings on other countries)

I think most people had a firm grasp of this, long before the current administration came into power.

Mr. Rove has told investigators that he learned from the columnist the name of the C.I.A. officer, who was referred to by her maiden name, Valerie Plame, and the circumstances in which her husband, former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV, traveled to Africa to investigate possible uranium sales to Iraq, the person said.
After hearing Mr. Novak's account, the person who has been briefed on the matter said, Mr. Rove told the columnist: "I heard that, too."
The previously undisclosed telephone conversation, which took place on July 8, 2003, was initiated by Mr. Novak, the person who has been briefed on the matter said.
Six days later, Mr. Novak's syndicated column reported that two senior administration officials had told him that Mr. Wilson's "wife had suggested sending him" to Africa. That column was the first instance in which Ms. Wilson was publicly identified as a C.I.A. operative
Who is more traitorous, a name mentioned in a conversation or the liberal paper who printed it?

agreed, think this guy should be censored too..........
Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) Revealed Name Of Undercover CIA Officer In Senate Hearing:
"John R. Bolton, President Bush's Nominee To Be Ambassador To The United Nations, Delicately Referred To The Undercover Officer As 'Mr. Smith' At His Confirmation Hearing On Monday."" (Sheryl Gay Stolberg, "Loose Lips Let Slip Agent's Name At Hearing," The New York Times, 4/13/05)
* "'Did Otto Reich Share His Belief That Fulton Armstrong Should Be Removed For His Position?' Mr. Kerry Said During The Hearing On Monday, Reading From Committee Records Of Interviews Its Staff Had Conducted. 'The Answer Is Yes.'" (Sheryl Gay Stolberg, "Loose Lips Let Slip Agent's Name At Hearing," The New York Times, 4/13/05)
* "Mr. Bolton Was Not Ruffled. 'As I Said,' He Replied, Sticking To The Alias, 'I Had Lost Confidence In Mr. Smith, And I Conveyed That.'" (Sheryl Gay Stolberg, "Loose Lips Let Slip Agent's Name At Hearing," The New York Times, 4/13/05)

neither side has any integrity now.
Sandy Berger should've been hung out to dry for stealing documents too.
