'Al Sharpton Visits Cindy Sheehan; Joey Buttafuocco rumored to be next Camp Casey Headliner
Written by Potfry
Here He Comes to Save the Day!
In a remarkable demonstration of the drawing power of the anti-war gathering in Crawford, Texas, Reverend Al Sharpton of New York arrives tomorrow to address the dozen people who continue to hold vigil outside President George Bush’s ranch. Local police were gearing up for the additional deluge of demonstrators expected as a result of Sharpton’s visit, with some predicting that as many as 5-7 new people may crowd into Camp Casey.
Further electrifying the crowd was the news, albeit still unsubstantiated rumor, that statutory rapist turned insurance scammer Joey Buttafuocco would visit Crawford on Monday to lend his support to the anti-war movement.
But for now, the impending visit of Sharpton had anti-war demonstrators squealing with delight. And it’s an event that almost didn’t happen. The Sheehan camp was concerned that the Baez concert would set too high a standard for the rest of the week, and that many celebrities would be afraid to come to Crawford.
“We were trying to decide if we should invite an athlete, an actor, or a profiteering racial agitator,” said Camp Casey Social Director Karen Bailey. “After putting out some feelers, we decided to go with the racial agitator. We need to make sure that we completely alienate mainstream America by losing focus from our core issue of the war and dragging in every single liberal issue under the sun, and Reverend Sharpton, with his ability to drone on incessantly in ghetto-rap lingo about topics that are really not germane to our issue, helps us do that.
“We’re simply thrilled to have a person of Reverend Sharpton’s moral character and credibility address the throng,” gushed Camp Casey spokesperson, Cathy Rinaldi. “We knew it would be hard to follow Joan Baez, but Reverend Sharpton said he’d have no problem trying to live up to the standards of ‘that old gray hippy cracker chick.’”
Sharpton is said to be planning a speech in which he compares the rape of the Tawana Brawley to what he calls “the rape of the Iraqi people.”
But some feel that Buttafuocco is the true coup for Camp Sheehan.
“He was high on our list, right after Mike Tyson and Paris Hilton,” said Bailey. “He brings a certain gravitas to the proceedings that we desperately need. And he’s so darn cute.” '
