RUSH: From the New York Post today: ‘Reverend Jesse Jackson is already backing a presidential candidate, Barack Obama – but the Rev. Al Sharpton denies persistent rumors he\u2019s throwing his support to Hillary Clinton. ‘I am unequivocally not endorsing Hillary or anyone else,\u2019 Sharpton told Page Six. As to a tip we got that he and Bill Clinton recently enjoyed cigars together in Clinton\u2019s Harlem office, Sharpton – in Las Vegas yesterday to address the Trial Lawyers Association – said, ‘I don\u2019t think he even smokes cigars anymore since his bypass.\u2019 Insiders confirmed that Al and Bill met at the latter\u2019s smoke-free office about two weeks ago. Sharpton will certainly not make any official announcement until Sen. Clinton, Sen. Obama, John Edwards, Chris Dodd, Bill Richardson, Joe Biden and even Dennis Kucinich address his National Action Network Convention at the Sheraton New York April 18-21. ‘I want to hear all of them,\u2019 Sharpton said. Or, as one politico told us, ‘All the candidates have to come and kiss his a – -.\u2019 … One political observer said, ‘Al is furious that Jesse Jackson got on the Obama train before he could.” Well, we feel for Reverend Sharpton. He\u2019s losing out every way possible on this Barack Obama phenomena. In the first place, it\u2019s Barack that Al wants to be. Al wants to be thought as the first clean and articulate — as Joe Biden said — black guy to come along in a presidential campaign. Al\u2019s already been on a presidential campaign, and he takes showers every day, and he can talk. Yet they\u2019re not saying these praisy things about him. Then Obama is out there getting all this credit, he\u2019s the new guy, new arrival, fresh face, my gosh. All the things Al Sharpton wants Obama is getting. Then the Reverend Jackson, Al Sharpton\u2019s number one competitor in the civil rights business, has now joined up with Obama. That freezes Sharpton out from sidling up to Obama. Now Obama\u2019s gotta wait \u2019til his National Action conviction and wait there for all these others candidates to show up — convention, convention, sorry — wait for that to happen. So Al\u2019s left out in the cold. He\u2019s left smoking cigars with a guy that doesn\u2019t smoking cigars anymore. I\u2019m sure he still does other things with them; that\u2019s Bill Clinton that we\u2019re talking about. So it\u2019s not happy days for the Reverend Sharpton. Paul Shanklin portrays vocally here. (Playing of ‘Barack the ‘Magic Negro” parody song.) RUSH: Oh, that\u2019s just too much. The chorus keeps singing, Al Sharpton drops the lyrics and starts protesting. (Laughing.) That\u2019s Paul Shanklin as Sharpton and ‘Barack the Magic Negro.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
