http:///www.1010wins.com ^

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- The Peabody Hotel in Memphis has filed a lawsuit against the Rev. Al Sharpton's civil rights group claiming some bills from a convention last year haven't been paid.

The Memphis Daily News reported that the lawsuit in Shelby County Circuit Court against Sharpton's New York City-based National Action Network seeks nearly $70,000.

The lawsuit doesn't detail what the charges are for, and Peabody officials declined to comment.

The group's 2008 convention was held in Memphis to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the assassination of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King in the city.

“Dems never pay bills.....or taxes.”

Their hands are always in someone else’s pocket.

Maybe Zero can settle the bill to get Sharpton and company off the hook.

....Sharpton still has liens on his ass over that Brawley lawsuit he lost...he has to hide/shelter any assets he has lest they be siezed....when he came thru my area about 4 years ago and paid his hotel suite in cash...he likes to play the big shot, but unless he shakes down Whitey he’s got no dough.

Reverend Jesse Jackson stiffs his hired help and sires a bastard and Reverend Al Sharpton stiffs the Peabody Hotel. Two peas in a pod. Always looking for a free ride.

But he was told he’s ‘entitled’ - someone else pays his way. Maybe looking for BO to give him a stimulus package. Doesn’t he have to give a credit card upfront to reserve rooms and check to see if invoice will go through?

But, are the ducks still in the lobby of the Peabody? Or were they on Sharpton’s menu?

It’s racist to expect Black males to be responsible for anything.

Back in 1933 Frank Schutt, General Manager of The Peabody, and a friend, Chip Barwick, returned from a weekend hunting trip to Arkansas. The men had a little too much Jack Daniel's Tennessee sippin' whiskey, and thought it would be funny to place some of their live duck decoys (it was legal then for hunters to use live decoys) in the beautiful Peabody fountain.

Three small English call ducks were selected as "guinea pigs," and the reaction was nothing short of enthusiastic. Soon, five North American Mallard ducks would replace the original ducks.

In 1940, Bellman Edward Pembroke, a former circus animal trainer, offered to help with delivering the ducks to the fountain each day and taught them the now-famous Peabody Duck March. Mr. Pembroke became the Peabody Duckmaster, serving in that capacity for 50 years until his retirement in 1991. Today, The Peabody Ducks are led by Duckmaster Jason Sensat.

The original ducks have long since gone, but after 75 years, the marble fountain in the hotel lobby is still graced with ducks. The Peabody ducks march at 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. daily.

It's no surprise should choose the Peabody since he was leading a bunch of quacks! Maybe he's goping to pay with S.L.U.R.P. funds.

Slum Lord Unrepentant Rich Peoples funds!

ACRONYMIAC ALERT!
