Well, there is that rather large delinquent tax bill Sharpton's been holding on to. That ought to be about the right amount. Plus a little interest of course.

BREAKING SONY: Sharpton DID NOT call for Amy Pascal's resignation. But did not give a line of support for her, either. — Joe Bel Bruno (@JoeBelBruno)

Well, he has to wait for the check to clear, after all.

It's a SIN, a SIN I tell you, that there have never been black actors in movies or TV.

They were afraid of more e mails being released. What next, George Clooney’s marriage jokes?

She should tell Al to take his oversized head and shove it up his posterior. These were PRIVATE emails, and they really were not all that bad.
Al's looking for another payday after Ferguson.

I don't know about anybody else but I am loving all this! Hollywood liberals being exposed for their sanctimony and racism. With all the usual pigs lining up at the money trough. The movie industry sucks these days,just like the music industry.

America will continue to be a swamp of racial misdirection and extortion until leaders like Pascal and Obama turn away from the likes of Jackson and Sharpton and to more rational and even-handed people like Ben Carson and Thomas Sowell whenever racial tensions heat up.....

Yep, i think behind the scenes Sony has been negotiating with the hackers, no movie release for no more e mail releases. And yes that despicable POS Sharpton will get his bag of Gold to hold his tongue in regards to the Hollywood hypocrite.

From an unnamed source:

I have always questioned if Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton were
really preachers since they have no church.

When I heard Al Sharpton was guest preacher in our town, I decided to check him out in person and see what it was all about.

I sat down and Sharpton came up to me - I don’t know why, maybe it was because I was the only white person in the Church.

He laid his hands on my hand and said: “By the will of Jesus the Lord All Mighty, and the will of God, you will walk today.”

I told him I was not paralyzed. He came back and laid his hands on me again, and repeated the same thing.

Again I told him there is nothing wrong with me.

After the sermon I stepped outside and lo and behold, my car had been stolen.
