I have one particular comment about the Duke University fiasco...
Can this finally be the last straw for those who still think Al "Tawana Brawley" Sharpton is a "black leader?"

1. The Imus Affair illustrates the same thing

Neither he nor Sharpton called the team to ask if they even had the team's blessing to raise hell on their behalf.

And I wonder if Jesse is still planning on paying for the stripper's college fund, like he promised to, no matter the outcome in this case.

Neither of these guys do the cause any good when they chase ambulances like this.

4. Both Jesse and Al
are prejudiced. Only society accepts their anti white, anti Jew, and anti Korean outbursts as being a legitimate reaction to years of anti black prejudices. In my mind however, two wrongs never made a right.

By the way, when are they going to appologize to the Duke players?

3. Hmmm.
Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many zeros are there in a brazillion?"

5. Sharpton is a radio host, not the leader of the "Black Community"
He's more popular with the media than most Blacks I bet.
