NEW YORK (AP) -- Al Sharpton, who was previously in talks with CBS to star in a sitcom, says he's not interested in being a TV star after all.

"I haven't done the things I've done to be in a sitcom," Sharpton told the News & Observer of Raleigh, N.C., in Tuesday's editions.

The Democrat, who has run for president, mayor of New York and the Senate, was earlier this month reported to be working with CBS on a pilot tentatively titled, "Al in the Family" -- an allusion to the Archie Bunker classic `70s show.

"I'm not interested in being Archie Bunker, I'm looking forward to becoming George Bush," Sharpton said, alluding to a possible future presidential race.

In other words, CBS turned him down.

The only place we should see this opportunistic professional racist's face, is on the wall in the Post Office...

[RushLake]

In other words, the convicted liar didn't want to be portrayed correctly?

Too late. He's already typecast.

[B.O. Plenty]

Sharpton's official theme song is "Bring in the Clowns"

"I haven't done the things I've done to be in a sitcom,"

Read: I haven't falsely accused Police officers of sodomizing Tawanah Brawley and smearing her with excrement, to be on a sit com. I did it to become a Democrat!

I had my truck sodomized boy it shines like new

[Spok]

Fate has already cast the good reverend's life as a sitcom.

[jw777]

Just like Al's nose.

[pipecorp]

his life is a sitcom. and he's a racist caucaphobe.

[RushLake]

Well, one positive thing, Sharpton fits well with the rest of the babbling idiots in the democrap party.

Sharpton could never be as funny as the Reverand Leroy of the Church of What's Happening Now.

[Loud Mime]

Crazy minister? That would be acting?

[jw777]

he's filth.

[bray]

He could always play a Republican in West Wing?

Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters

[Dante3]

He does appear on LoanMax commercials (sponsoring Judge Judge?) and is kind of funny.

[Tzimisce]

He's afraid of being typecast as a crazy minister?

But he IS a crazy minister.

[Responsibility2nd]

In other words, CBS turned him down

Al Sharpton; meet Al Bundy.

(maybe the Fox Network will pick up the show)

[Unknown Pundit]

Life imitating art bump

Can someone tell me why Tawana Brawley never surfaced in this idiot's presidential run? I guess his opponents never needed her since Sharpton couldn't get elected to anything but doesn't anyone wonder why we never saw her resurrected at least for comedy purposes?

Maybe she heard they were sending Teddy over to drive her to the event?

[bannie]

Isn't this the Shewana guy?

so credible...

I mentioned it in one of my Project 21 columns in 2001.

"Tawana Brawley"

I couldn't believe Sharpton's criminal past wasn't brought up more either. The Republican campaign managers should have made hay out of the Dems treating an obvious scoundrel like Sharpton as a serious candidate. David Duke anyone?
