Pleeeeeeze Don't Run for Mayor, Al Sharpton!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

(AP) (NEW YORK) Rev. Al Sharpton threw expectant media a curveball Thursday by holding a news conference to announce that he would not announce whether or not he was running for mayor. “I’m not stating my intention tonight … I will not deal with that question. I’m more concerned with setting a tone for the race than whether I’m going to enter the race,” he said.

Oh, lordy. I can’t imagine anything worse for NY or for race relations in general than to have this pontificating boob run for mayor. It’s bad enough he wants to “set a tone for the race.”

Pontificating boob? Pontificating boob? C’mon, could a Pontificating boob pull off the look of hair like that? I don’t think so. :wink:

Oh, dear lord, nooooooo!!!

I don’t live anywhere near NY, but even I know that would be bad, bad, BAD.

I’ll pray for you guys, Eve.

I dunno…when was the last time your city had a mayor who wore warmup suits on the job? :smiley:

At least Sharpton is more colorful than some of our other mayoral candidates. Green? Ferrer? Gimme a break. It’s not for nothing that the Daily News reported that 69% of New Yorkers would prefer Bubba to run for mayor than any of these clowns.

You know as much as I enjoy and respect “Hairdo” as a punchline for late night monologues and SNL sketches, I must say a run for mayor of NY is BEYOND ill-advised. Where’s Jesse?

Betcha it causes a spike in the population of New Jersey and Connecticut.

I can see it now, folks in Manhattan will do such a quick turnaround on the ‘living in Jersey’ concept that they’ll ahve to call in federal assistance for the epidemic of whiplash cases.

I don’t think he’ll run. If he won he would have to actually work and be held accountable. I don’t think that appeals to him. He has his dream job now of the being the backseat driver from hell.

Dude.

We survived Crown Heights and race riots.

We survived Giuliani.

We would sooner survive the destruction of Indian Point in a violent act of God than move to Jersey en masse.

“Full of sound a fury, signifying nothing…”

Shakespear said it best.

Al Charlatan ? First mayor I can think of who’d get his wages garnisheed for his libel payments…

I don’t live far enough away to escape the stampede. I voted for Rudy and moved out before he took office - my gift to you…

He’s a clown, and would be afraid to win. His showboating would collapse if he had to work.

Al Sharpton?

He’s got MY vote!

Even though I live in the suburbs and only get into the City for Dopefests and baseball games, I’d just like to say;

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Thank you.
