"I haven't done the things I've done to be in a sitcom,"

Read: I haven't falsely accused Police officers of sodomizing Tawanah Brawley and smearing her with excrement, to be on a sit com. I did it to become a Democrat!

Sharpton could never be as funny as the Reverand Leroy of the Church of What's Happening Now.

He does appear on LoanMax commercials (sponsoring Judge Judge?) and is kind of funny.
