Title: File under: not surprising, possible irony... Post by: CmdrSlack on February 25, 2007, 07:31:29 PM So it seems that Strom Thurmond's ancestors used to own Al Sharpton's ancestors. (http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/02/25/sharpton.thurmond.ap/index.html)
I fully expect the vast majority of late night talk show hosts to include this in their monologues tomorrow. I then expect at least one apology the next day.

Good work.

Still, it is funny. And the pics I've seen of Sharpton make him look nauseated upon hearing the news. My only wish is that ole Strom was still alive when he heard the news, he'd have probably dropped dead when Al Sharpton rang the doorbell and asked for reparations.

Really, that would be an answer I wouldn't want to know. I'm happy enough to let my sleeping ancestors lie.

That he's the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby? Title: Re: File under: not surprising, possible irony...

I'm disappointed each time I do. Title: Re: File under: not surprising, possible irony... Post by: Strazos on February 26, 2007, 09:41:29 PM Pure Lawlercakes.
