BTW did you know that Al Sharpton's driver got arrested and the Caddy impounded when he was racing for the airport with Big Al? The Sherriff stopped them (going waaaay over the limit). Driver explained they were racing for the airport. Sherriff said too bad, you're under arrest and impounded the Caddy but he and his Deputys offered to take Sharpton to the nearby motel to call a cab. Sharpton declined and walked to it. WoooHooo. The story isn't on Google. I read it at lgf but I'll post a link as soon as I find it again. I may have to borrow lgf's link to the story but it was POETIC....LUVED it. And not because I'm racist though I'll bet that's what Sharpton was thinking about the Sherriff. I just think it's a 'gotcha' for one of Cindy's friends, more than anything to do with Sharpton.

Here it is courtesy of LGF:

"Sharpton Driver Arrested For Speeding"

"WAXAHACHIE, Texas - A car carrying the Rev. Al Sharpton led sheriff's deputies on a nine-mile chase at speeds up to 110 mph before state troopers stopped the vehicle and arrested the driver, authorities said.

"The civil rights activist called the sheriff's report "ludicrous" and accused the Ellis County officers of "embellishing the story."...." Read and enjoy it all!

ROFL- the Rev.'s people got arrested, he had to walk. That is just too funny! Anyway I bet he was dressed nice.

Nobdy can fault the Rev. for taste in suits (except maybe to ask where he gets the money for the nice clothes), but, I bet it was awful hot walking in the sun :-)

A quote from the Sharpton story:

That nine-mile chase is news to me," Sharpton told The Associated Press. "All I know is that the police pulled us over because they wanted to talk to the driver about speeding."

He's going to look pretty stupid when the cruiser cams show the chase.

What am I saying: "is going to"? need to change than from future tense to present tense.
