Stay Outta Hollywood Al...Please?
The day Al Sharpton decides to hang up his political/activist hat is a day many of us are looking forward to. Are we looking forward to his next incarnation, however?
NEW YORK — He's been a minister, an activist and a presidential candidate. Now Al Sharpton wants to be a sitcom star.
Sharpton told the Daily News in Saturday's editions that he is working with CBS on a pilot, tentatively named, "Al in the Family."
"It's about conflicting social and political views," Sharpton said. "There'll also be a social message."
The Democrat, who has also run for mayor of New York and the U.S. Senate, said one possible episode would have one of his TV children becoming a Republican.
"I don't know if I am a good actor or not, but I will be playing myself and I have been practicing that for 51 years," he said.
Did he get the bug from this commercial he shot while supporting Freddy Ferrer for mayor of NYC? The thought of watching Al Sharpton trying to be funny on TV is about as appealing as having a cavity filled. Actually, I'd rather have the cavity filled--without novacaine.
I honestly thought the offerings from Hollywood couldn't get much worse...but it seems I was wrong.

What I love is how Hollywood no longer tries to hide its bias. They used to push their agenda in very subtle ways, but now, the TV shows and Films they make wear their liberalism on their sleeve. I hope they keep doing it because the more vocal they become, the more people will tune them out. Nobody listens to a screamer.

Actually, I would prefer him in Hollywood and out of politics.
