Oh, FFS, why is Al Sharpton giving that twit Megan McCain airtime?

She sounds like a 17-year-old "valley girl" with that stupid vocal fry mannerism. Also, she doesn't know anything. How is it that being the spawn of a political figure automatically makes you an expert on politics?

Or to follow the dictates of 'equivalency'. So why second guess him?
