#9  Pancho: They're essentially fruit fallen from a poisonous tree. If you have time, examine the history of Rhodes, and the origins of his entrepreneurial, social, and educational schemes. He was the George Soros of his time. Just my opinion mind you.

#5  Reynolds, an Illinois Democrat who once was a Rhodes scholar, resigned from his congressional seat in 1995 after he was convicted of having sex with a former campaign worker while she was underage, and then trying to thwart the investigation. While in prison he was also convicted of bank and campaign fraud for concealing debts to obtain bank loans and diverting money intended for voter registration drives into his election campaign.

Wow! Bad stuff! How'd he get out, I wonder?

He was in jail until his sentence was commuted by then-President Bill Clinton in Jan. 2001.

Another Rhodes "Scholar."

#3  The article mentioned 'immigrated' to Zim. If so did the former Congresspuke from Chicago renounce his US citizenship? At least he still gets lifelong salary to pay for his perverted choice.
