Al Rocks!
Now, I grew up in the New York suburbs in the early 1980s, so I know all too well Al Sharpton's mixed legacy and his involvement in the Tawana Brawley farce. I was worried he would get pissed off at some point this year when he ran for President and take his ball and go home, as he did in 2001, after Mark Green beat Freddy Ferrer in a heated Democratic primary for New York mayor.
But Al has been a good citizen and I just watched his convention speech. He had some of the best lines I've heard all week:
"If George Bush had been President in 1954, then Clarence Thomas would not have even been able to go to law school."
He also had a great line about the WMDs and how the President misled us and then tried to change the reason we went to Iraq. Sharpton said that if he told everyone to leave the Fleet Center because they were in danger, and then, once everyone got outside and asked where was the danger, he told them that he just wanted to get some fresh air, he would have misled them, and that's just what Bush did.
Excellent stuff.
Now I'm real psyched for Edwards...
