Zuh?

By now, you're probably familiar with the story that Al Sharpton's ancestor was owned by Strom Thurmond's.

Last night,embarrassment to humanity teevee host Glenn Beck had Sharpton on to discuss the story, and this was said:

BECK: But it wouldn't have -- I couldn't imagine knowing that guy was the guy whose family owned me.

SHARPTON: Well, of course, that adds --

BECK: It would have been just --

SHARPTON: -- that adds salt to the wound. But you know what amazes me, is the press says that he moderated his segregationist views in his older age. Well, when did he denounce it? He's -- I've never seen Strom Thurmond say, "I was wrong. I'm going to do what I can to correct it." I mean, the media, you guys, sanitize anything. It's ridiculous.

BECK: I have to tell you, because you know I love you, but I disagree with almost everything you say. There's part of me -- a sick part of me -- that would just love to see you two related in DNA.

Juh? What does that even mean? He'd love to see a little more humiliation?

Oh, I see. He's been reading the Onion.

Sharpton should have smacked him for the "I love you, but I disagree with almost everything you say" condescending crap. Instead, he went for the wither:

SHARPTON: Well, at least you said it was a sick part of you, and I understand that -- may you be healed one day, Glenn.

There's a cure for dribblemouthed jackass? Color me shocked.
