I am no BORe fan either, but if you take a ride in the way-back machine 5-10 years ago, you will recall that BORe, at least on the surface, made an attempt on several of his shows to source JJ's income and even have JJ come on "The O'Reilly Factor". All to no avail.
As for Sharpton, well BORe lives out on LI, he should have known the nature of that scorpion but provided him a platform on the "TO'RF" in years past as well.
Should be interesting come 8/24/2013 - Sharpton's NAN is hosting a 50th anniversary event in W-DC commemorating MLKJr's "I have a dream speech."
