Rev. Al Alert!

There's one politician who always has his priorities in order:
The FBI, as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into the Rev. Al Sharpton, secretly videotaped him pocketing campaign donations from two shady fund-raisers in a New York City hotel room and then asking for more, it was reported yesterday.
I'm sure he was just taking the loot to the bank.
An FBI wiretap picked up Hawkins telling White he believed they had raised more than $140,000 for Sharpton in the previous quarter — but Hawkins fretted because Sharpton had reported only about $50,000 on his federal election filing.
Ruh oh! And you knew the Rev's answer to this, didn't you?
Sharpton ripped the federal probe and the secret videotaping of the hotel meeting, saying, "Can you imagine what would happen if it was a white presidential candidate?"
Good question, Al. We'd laugh their porcine butts out of town, but I expect you'll be able to dine out on this one forever and likely increase your cash flow. Thanks for asking.
