Just the title should tell you why. Meet Melvin Reynolds:
I heard about the bare bones of this story this morning…
@aburnspolitico @TheRickWilson You mean “convicted sex offender and former Democratic Congressman Melvin Reynolds,” of course.

…but I didn’t know about the pornos. I knew that Reynolds had been convicted of statutory rape, got forced out of Congress, served time for the sex offenses and bank fraud, and got his sentence commuted by Bill Clinton – but I didn’t know about the pornos. And it’s the pornos that make this entire thing far too rococo for real life. This is something that you’d expect to see in a television series, for heaven’s sake.
Reality. ‘Tis treacherous, it is.

“Rococo”. Come for the politics and SF geekery, stay for the hifalutin vocabulary.
Life is unfair, Moe.

Hey Moe, ever see that movie Stranger Than Fiction? I know what you’re thinking: ‘Will Ferrell? Tis a silly movie!’ and you would be wrong. It is a GREAT movie.
I did. I liked it.

Dont forget another Clinton connection to the war on women
It seems Mr. Reynolds had a lot of time and stamina on his hands as well as money, in order to make 100s of pornos.
I’m more than a little bit surprised that we haven’t seen news stories mis-identifying Mr. Reynolds as a Republican.
