"I would issue an executive order calling for statehood, and challenge the Congress to stop me," Mr. Sharpton said.

Why don't you start a street riot, Al? That's your customary tactic and just about as "constitutional".

But Mrs. Moseley Braun set herself apart from the others when she said she would sign a bill to end the District's gun ban and that she would oppose a commuter tax on residents of Maryland and Virginia who work in the District.

WTF!!

Sounds like he attended the same civics class as Mugabe.

Statehood for DC? That's the stupidest idea I've heard of in days...almost as stupid as the non-amnesty amnesty program.

"Quality public education is the cornerstone of the American dream, she said, "and what vouchers do is siphon off money from the public school system."" - think this comes from Mosely-Brown.

Goes to show how stupid that woman is. Not the American Dream but the American Psychosis. Get rid of "Public Education" and there is hope. This is the evil from which all of the others spring.

Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich of Ohio, former Sen. Carol Moseley Braun of Illinois and Mr. Sharpton

I love the smell of a crumbling liberal political party in the morning.

This just bespeaks wisdom and experience.
