Al Sharpton to Biden: “I told him I take a bath every day,”

[Herman Munster]

Mr. Sharpton said that when Mr. Biden called him to apologize, Mr. Sharpton started off the conversation reassuring Mr. Biden about his hygienic practices. “I told him I take a bath every day,” Mr. Sharpton said.

No stranger to electoral intrigue, Mr. Sharpton was quick to offer a political motive: That Mr. Biden was drawing distinctions between Mr. Obama and African-American leaders like Mr. Sharpton and Mr. Jackson, to “discredit Mr. Obama with his base.”

1. Hehe.. not a huge Sharpton fan but don't dislike him either

and this puts one in the plus column for him.

[aquart]

5. Slow-witted he is NOT.

[kdpeters]

16. I'm a huge Sharpton fan

I don't know if he'd be the best president, but he sure is the best to listen to.

[originalpckelly]

2. AHAHAHAHA!

That's way to treat these types of people, make fun of them! :rofl:

[alittlelark]

3. Sharpton is a bit of a publicity hound for my taste....

but, damn, that's a great one!!!! :spray: :rofl:

4. I have some issues with Al but he's always the fastest with the quips.

6. Sharpton has twice the IQ of anyone running

and he does love the attention.

[karlrschneider]

7. Sharpton is an ass.

So is Biden, but he's not a racist...just stupid.

[la la]

8. yep,

he is an ass, but he's a funny, bright, quickwitted one.

9. Sharpton gave the best speech at the convention in 2004.

[eShirl]

10. yeah and Tweety cut him off of MSNBC's coverage before it was done

pissed me off

[SmellsLikeDeanSpirit]

11. Remember it very well. Tweety was like "What he is doing?" "Not what Kerry wants" blah blah blah

[faithnotgreed]

12. that he did

that was something to behold

[satya]

13. That was a great speech. And when I tried to find the transcript on the website,

all I could find was what he was "supposed" to have said, not the speech he actually gave.

Obama's was incredible, too, very uplifting. Reading the transcript of the GOP rants next to our speakers really made me proud to be a Dem.

[donheld]

18. Yes he did indeed

There was none to top his speech!

[BigBearJohn]

14. I love Sharpton. He never bores me. He is brilliant.

[SmellsLikeDeanSpirit]

15. I would love to see Sharpton as the nominee just for the debates in the fall.

Imagine Al debating Bush in 2004. Highest rated TV event ever.

[MonkeyFunk]

17. LOL...

Sharpton's always good for a laugh.

[The Backlash Cometh]

19. Best line ever:

"The day ended, appropriately enough for the way politics is practiced now, with Mr. Biden explaining himself to Jon Stewart on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show."

20. It is so damn sad. Sharpton has been put under the

corporate Media's microscope like many other's who have challenged the status quo. But people like Bush are given a free ride all the way along the path to dictatorship.

Castro, Chavez and others suffer the same fate. What they really stand for is never known!!
:mad: :mad:

It is such a rigged game, totally fucked!!!

[Mandate My Ass]

21. Word

Molly's last written words were, "the emperor has no clothes." :evilfrown:

[Karenina]

23. It's called...

[happydreams]

24. ROFL

:rofl:

Those two pictures together say it all. I saw the first one, posted in Sweden I believe, a few years ago.

[Virginia Dare]

22. Wonderful response...

Biden actually insulted Sharpton, Jackson, Mosely-Braun, and all of the many previous African-American Presidential candidates much more than he did Obama, even though it was a pretty back-handed compliment.
