What Did The Pot Call The Kettle?

Once again, Al Sharpton made himself look like a class act.

In a debate Monday with atheist author Christopher Hitchens, Sharpton addressed Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s chances, stating, “As for the one Mormon running for office, those who really believe in God will defeat him anyways, so don't worry about that; that's a temporary situation.”

I’m no fan of the Grand Ol’ Party, but seriously, when will Al Sharpton just shut the fuck up? The minute somebody even gives a cross look at a black person he and Jesse Jackson rush into the media spotlight. At least a media whore like Paris Hilton gives us an upskirt every now and then between DUI arrests and sex tape. We all know Mormons are from outer space, but Sharpton’s one-nation-under-Jesus shtick is swiss cheese thin these days. Given his track record (Tawana Brawley, Freddie’s Fashion Mart, Duke Lacrosse), Sharpie ought to watch what he says and which horse he backs…you can only cry wolf so many times. Wouldn't it be nice if the good reverend has some reverence for others?
