    Al Sharpton and the 'Times' Endorse Eric Schneiderman: You Gotta Be Kidding

    ​Can I start with the final straw and work my way backwards? While I was away on vacation last week, Al Sharpton, one of the worst tax scofflaws in New York, endorsed Eric Schneiderman for the state's top law enforcement office. No big deal. Any one of the four other Democrats running for att ... More >>

    Al Sharpton Attacks Rush Limbaugh, the Last White Guy He Isn't In Bed With

    ​Thank God for Rush Limbaugh.

So yesterday, "Silent Al" found his voice and called Rush "repugnant." ... More >>

    Barrett: Sharpton Scolds Maloney, and Naturally There's an Ulterior Motive

    ​Al Sharpton's rush to issue a statement this week denouncing Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney's use of the n-word in a magazine interview has once again made him a potential kingmaker.

    Barrett: Let's Look at Al Sharpton's Shot at Runnin' Scared

    ​The last thing I want to do is get into a fight with sweet Rachel Noerdlinger, the spokeswoman for sour Al Sharpton.

    Sharpton Endorses Thompson, FWIW

    Al Sharpton knows how to play this game. Though he endorsed the opposition last election, he has since been a good friend to Mayor Bloomberg for years, keeping reasonably quiet even when you'd expect him to talk up -- like during the term limits fight. "Al Sharpton has been very stabilizing influenc ... More >>

    Dine and Dash: Memphis Hotel Says Al Sharpton Owes Them $87,300

    If Al Sharpton owes you money, you better not count on collecting any time soon.

    Barrett: Al Sharpton Gets an Apology

    I owe Al Sharpton an apology. He was in rare form Monday night on NY1, ranting as if he had turned the clock back to his old sweat-suit days (NY1 actually ran classic footage of him in his favorite, all-black outfit). He took several runs at me during this extended interview and did manage to get on ... More >>
