The press conference with African-American surrogates for Andrew Cuomo slamming Carl Paladino's racist emails at City Hall last week was missing, as a few readers pointed out, one of the state's (and country's) most influential black leaders - the Rev.

Would Sharpton use a play from Thurman Thomas?

“...one of the state’s (and country’s) most influential black leaders - the Rev. Al Sharpton.”

Exactly who does this greasy t~rd influence?

If Sharpton hasn’t endorsed anyone , it is probably because the check hasn’t cleared yet.

“one of the state’s (and country’s) most influential black leaders”

Sad commentary for the black population.

If Sharpton hasn’t endorsed anyone , it is probably because the check hasn’t cleared yet.

I had similar thoughts, you beat me to it.

Maybe he’s still resting up *from* the anti 8/28 rally, and resting up *for* the 10/2 rally.

Whipping up a crowd with all that racist frenzy takes a lot out of someone, and heaven knows Rev. Al has more milage on him than during his “slap the donkey” days.
