Stretching for Mel So much for the suffering of former congressman and convicted sex offender Mel Reynolds. As soon as his commutation came through from pal Bill Clinton, Jesse Jackson and his Chicago cronies were ready to help. Today the man who said it would be a struggle to get his life back on track financially is riding around in a stretch limo driven by a salaried employee of Jackson's Rainbow Coalition. But Jackson isn't footing the whole bill. His longtime friend Rev. James Meek, who receives funds from Operation PUSH and the Rainbow Coalition, is underwriting the leasing of the car. Why the chauffeur? Reynolds apparently doesn't have a driver's license and is afraid to ride on public transportation because of his notoriety. The FBI has already inquired into this odd transportation choice, particularly given the controversy over the Rainbow Coalition's support of the Reverend Jackson's mistress. spectator.org
