wait until Glenn Beck discovers this guy.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.117.99.131 (talk) 02:43, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Jennings often got drunk and stoned during his high school years.

Fox News just reported that on page 103 of Jennings' 2007 autobiography, Mama's Boy, Preacher's Son: A Memoir, Jennings wrote "I got stoned more often and went out to the beach at Bellows, overlooking Honolulu Harbor and the lights of the city, to drink with my buddies on Friday and Saturday nights, spending hours watching the planes take off and land at the airport, which is actually quite fascinating when you are drunk and stoned."

Actually, it's fascinating even if you aren't stoned. In the old days there were public observation platforms at airports where people could come watch operations. But however poetic this description is, it's possible to write a biography of Jennings that gets across the criticism of him without quoting all this as a separate section.

Washington Times claims Jennings broke law by not reporting statutory rape of student.

This is an editorial from The Washington Times, so it can't be used as a source in the article. But it's probably only a matter of time until a non-editorial source pays attention to this. It says that when Jennings was a teacher, a 15 year old student told him that he had been the victim of a statutory rape. It also says that Jennings broke the law by not reporting what happened. It also says that Jennings encouraged the student to have more sex with the adult. For someone who is the "safe schools scar," this is highly notable. Once a better source comes along, it should be added to the article. Grundle2600 (talk) 22:30, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
