The First-Class, Five-Star Rev
by JILLIAN KAY MELCHIOR March 16, 2015
Al Sharpton demands the best when he speaks at public colleges. When he speaks at public colleges and universities, Al Sharpton flies first-class, stays in upscale hotels, travels to events in a chauffeured vehicle, and often brings a bodyguard or aide with him. He makes these demands on taxpayer-funded institutions, despite owing as much as $4.5 million in unpaid taxes and penalties.
In terms of travel, Rev. Sharpton travels first class on flights and will require a large black SUV for transportation and, if the trip requires lodging, he will require a suite in a four/five star hotel, wrote Sharptons assistant, Abyssinia Tirfe, in an August 14, 2014, e-mail to Michigan State University (MSU) obtained by National Review. Also, Rev. Sharpton travels with [an] aide who will require [an] economy ticket and a standard hotel room (if needed).
The records show MSU assented to these requirements and began arranging them, even e-mailing a travel agent to book a $1,469.70 first-class flight and reserving a suite. But an MSU spokesman says Sharpton ultimately covered his own travel for this particular trip. Its unclear why.

Well we’re movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up,
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.
Fish don’t fry in the kitchen;
Beans don’t burn on the grill.
Took a whole lotta tryin’,
Just to get up that hill.
Now we’re up in the big leagues,
Gettin’ our turn at bat.
As long as we live, it’s you and me baby,
There ain’t nothin wrong with that.
Well we’re movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up,
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.
Black privilege on parade.
I have tried and tried, but once that flipping fool comes out with the "Jernin me now is...", I turn blue and change the channel.
It's gotten to where my daughter sits down and watches me, to see my reaction to him.
I just cannot stand the fool and have yet to watch more than 3-4 minutes of his show, so, to be truthful, I have no idea what his stand is on anything.
But I am damn well convinced he is the stupidest idiot I've seen on national TV in quite a while and makes one hell of a good example at to why liberals are collective dumbasses.
Funny how that classic movie “Network” has all come true.
He should have to buy a row of seats, because it wouldn’t be first class for anyone having to sit next to him. What an a-hole.
Never saw the movie, but know the plot.
