Fifteen years ago, NBC morning superstar Katie Couric uncorked one of the lamest jokes in network history by suggesting when gas neared $3 a gallon "It’s ridiculous. I had to take out a loan to fill up my minivan." She had an eight-figure annual income.
On Thursday, this shtick popped up again on Morning Joe when Willie Geist cracked to Al Sharpton about Mayor Bill de Blasio having "Black Lives Matter" painted on 5th Avenue right in front of Trump Tower:
"Rev, guys like you and I can't necessarily shop on 5th Avenue. We just look into the windows and hope someday we can."

Willie Geist [reported annual salar $5 million] says he and Sharpton [annual haul ???] can’t afford to shop on Fifth Avenue.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
These scum bags always want to pretend they are the “working man”
Bunch of fakes and frauds
If you make 5 million a year, you can shop on 5th avenue
Are they spending all their big salaries on drugs and hookers? You have to budget your money right.
If you are a highly visible black “leader”, you can get a steep discount on 5th avenue as long as you prevent the mobs from trashing the stores there.
If he was Italian instead of being black, the feds would call that racketeering
Lets say you have a high class $5K a night hooker and a $1K a day coke habit and you do this every single day of the year
That is still $2.1 million dollars a year
And since they are Dems, they don’t pay taxes, so where is the 2.9 million going?
No, these are the types of people who will come back with a mob after dark and just take what they want.
I think the city is supporting discrimination with a mural that references only black lives mattering. What about Asian lives, Hispanic lives, white lives, Native American lives. I thought no government was allowed to discriminate. She meone should sue.
Willie is so jealous of the on-going black pity party...
If Geist wasn’t so well known he’d be the kind of ‘white guy’ who’d try to pass for black so he can get pity and be allowed ‘rage’.
How disgusting.
Al gets his expensive suits “donated” to him, so affordability isn’t an issue.
“If Geist wasn’t so well known”.
WHO IS HE? I NEVER HEARD OF HIM. I guess that I should watch CNN more so I will know these proggs.
Al’s rich friends pay his overdue taxes and court ordered law suit settlements.
LOL he’s not on CNN. He’s on MSNBC.
But you are better off not knowing who he is.
These two grifters can’t afford to shop on Fifth Avenue? With all the many years that the criminal known as Al Sharpton has not paid taxes that he owes, he could probably buy Fifth Avenue. By all rights, he should have been in jail years ago for tax fraud.
In a context of capitalism being allowed to flourish, when the rich get richer, the poor also get richer. Under conditions of respect for natural rights and prohibition of force, one man’s gain requires another man’s gain.
This is their schtick - elitist snobs who want to convince their audience they’re one of the people. Willie Geist has been on multiple TV shows for years.
Maybe Kaepernick can take them shopping?
