"Don’t let this guilty plea fool you, Vick is innocent (like OJ)" [Greg Pollowitz]
That's the title of a supposed Al Sharpton blog post being linked to by MSNBC.com. MSNBC reporter Alex Johnson writes:
But at the same time, Sharpton argued that the prosecution of Vick was overkill.
“If the police caught Brett Favre (a white quarterback for the Green Bay Packers) running a dolphin-fighting ring out of his pool, where dolphins with spears attached to their foreheads fought each other, would they bust him? Of course not,” Sharpton wrote Tuesday on his personal blog.
“They would get his autograph, commend him on his tightly spiraled forward passes, then bet on one of his dolphins.”
It's going to take a long, long time for Johnson to live this down. The Al Sharpton blog post he's linked to is a parody site.

Don’t blame the unfortunate reporter from PMSNBC — everything from Al Sharpton is like parody!! How is one to know when it’s real-Al and when it’s parody-Al??? Either way you have an absurd bloviating buffoon.....
I will sue Sharpton for one million dollars. Dolphins with frikkin spears on top of their heads? Throw me a frikken bone here people!
Homer Simpson’s barking bee cannon dogs strike again.
Oh c'mon. The only way it would be more of a "give a way" is if he used "ill-tempered Chilean sea bass" instead of dolfins...
I’m not saying the MSM reporter is not an idiotic liberal tool, I’m only saying that Al Sharpton is so far over the top that some of his more ‘serious’ remarks would look even more outlandish than the parody.
You mean quotes like this?...Al Sharpton: “I call George Bush’s tax breaks, even the small amounts that he gave working class people, is like Jim Jones giving Kool-Aid. It tastes good, but it’ll kill you.” (3 May 2003)
It gets better,

A reply “by” Sharpton that it isn’t a hoax. Funny stuff. With pic of fighting dolphins.
Priceless!
Now let's just leave hockey out of this...
If this helps make Sharpton and his foolish followers feel like a slighted second-class citizens, then I'm all for it.
Thanks for the late-night laugh! I’m going to have to watch that cartoon now!
Does this mean Jim’s going to start getting e-mails signed “Sincerely, Ron [Mexico]”?
