LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - He has led civil rights marches, scolded the nation's leaders and even run for president, but the Rev. Al Sharpton now wants to do something completely different -- star in his own television sitcom.
Sharpton, in an interview with Reuters on Friday, confirmed a report in Daily Variety that he would soon be filming a pilot for a family show called "Al in the Family" that would revolve around his larger-than-life personality.
"I don't know if I am a good actor or not but I will be playing myself and I have been practicing that for 51 years," the New York Democrat and civil rights leader said.

You really can't make this stuff up. First 'Growing up Gotti' and now this - Brought to you by the MSM/CBS contingent. What a joke - More exaltation of the dysfunctional and pro Dem airtime.

Hollywood loves him. He's a democrat and a racist anti-semite.

His daughter/lover will be named Tawana, and mostly she will sleep in a trash bag with the CBS logo on it.
I believe I could write for that show.

First Katie C. hosting the CBS evening news and now this? PLEASE let it be true!
To: Spok
Yeah. Wonder if they'll have an episode where he incites a crowd to burn down a building and murder the owners.
Despite the fact the H'Wood and MSM crowd loves this thing he is crooked and IMO a murderer - But these are just minor inconveniences not warranting exposure by these people.

Will he play the part of a Buffoon?
Maybe a Harlem version of "The Honeymooners"?
Yeah. Al Sharpton the bus driver. Barney Frank could be his next-door neighbor.

Please no, there are too many now; the Al Gore sitcom, Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi; we really cannot take too many more.

CBS is stuck on stupid if they are going to allow a race baiting, hate spewing ,ignorant slob like that have a TV show. He doesn't say anything that would appeal to the intelligent people in America ( many of us are not fluent in stupidity )and as far as his people/followers go, they have the BET cable channel to talk their bulls**t on. Don't try and force it on decent people. CBS better think about it REAL hard before they make a move like that.

Maybe now Atty. Pagones can get his $65K in damages (plus post judgment interest)by garnishing his CBS wages.

His daughter/lover will be named Tawana, and mostly she will sleep in a trash bag with the CBS logo on it. Thats perfect! Subtitle of the episode: "Our slander of Steven Pagones was fake but accurate"
To: TCats
Good time to post one of the Sharpton pics I borrowed from an unknown FReeper that was posted in the recent past.
To: Wally_Kalbacken
ah, the original fake but accurate report.
