Via the New York Post, Sharpton's ex-wife Kathy Jordan and 23 year-old daughter Dominique—who works for Rev. Sharpton's National Action Network—were driving in Harlem last night when they came up on an NYPD housing bureau cop car, many of which are plainly marked. The car was driving slowly, they tailgated it, honked at it, and finally changed lanes, changed back in front of it, and ran a red light.

Again: they cut off a cop car, and ran a red light in front of it. Nice. Once they were pulled over, the conversation got heated enough to merit them being taken down to the station and booked. So, of course, take a crack at what happens next:

Sources added that Dominique Sharpton dropped her dad's famous name at the stationhouse before being released.

NYPD brass love Rev. Sharpton, seeing as how he's taken them to the woodshed and aired them out in public every time they even remotely fumble the ball for as long as he's had people listening to him. And when you're Al Sharpton's daughter and ex-wife, at a police precinct for screaming at a cop, the absolute smartest thing you can do is throw down Dad's name.

This is about a step short of me getting booked while reading the Fuckin' Cops tag. Smooth.

No, really. Yesterday, there was this tiny item buried in the New York Post. Maybe they wanted to be nice to a publicist? Or maybe because this kind of thing was too ghoulish even for Halloween.

Michael Jackson's dad thinks the singer is "worth more dead than when he was alive." Joe Jackson, 80, let that slip last night in an interview on the syndicated TV show "Extra." Jackson — decked out in creepy sunglasses and a blinged-out, black, chalk-stripe suit — quickly recognized his gaffe and blurted out, "I'd rather have him alive."

One hell of a necrophiliac Freudian slip, right? Extra has the item up on their site, but no video, yet: again, wonder why. Meanwhile, when the early week's numbers for This Is It aren't being praised/castigated/positioned both ways by Nikki Finke, the movie's been predicted by Box Office Guru to possibly - maybe - break the $20M mark by the end of the weekend, which is short of the earlier predicted $30M mark.

Whether or not it's "impressive" or a "disappointment," however? Meh. Leave it to studios and math geeks. All that matters is that Joe Jackson sees dollah dollah bills, y'all. Which means Jackson is a star yet again. Give this man awards, Al Sharpton! Abusive in life, abusive in death. Parents won't stop being embarrassing until the universe just flat-out ends.

• Oogh. Lindsay Lohan has reportedly (1) been dropped by her record label, (2) been working for French fashion label Ungaro for free, even going so far as to cover her own expenses on her trip to Paris for their show, and (3) has had a camera crew following her around for what appears to be a reality TV show that her PR rep declined to comment on. She also "scooped up" $100,000 in threads from Ungaro while she was working with them, so, you know, at least she got something out of it. But those new lips ain't gonna pay for themselves, sister. In fact, those lips are beginning to look more and more like the sub-prime mortgage of plastic surgery; she's gonna be paying for those things until they get foreclosed on. I have no idea what that means. Anyway: when Michael Lohan begins to look even remotely sensible in any context, you're doing something wrong. Stop doing wrong things. Stop fucking up, Lindsay. You losing your BlackBerry in a bodega is enjoyable gossip. This is not enjoyable gossip. This is Sunday. Don't make us deal with this shit on a Sunday. [Page Six]
  
  
• Brad Pitt ran his motorcycle into a parked car. I'm pretty sure there was a decent "Yo mama" joke about this back in the day, but it's just not as funny when Brad Pitt does it, right? Also, the Daily News uses the old "but he's gonna be fine, ladies" as if they assume their readership of items about Brad Pitt injuring himself is either a majority of or limited to women. Wrong, New York Daily News. So I'll do it for them: Ladies and Men Who Wish Brad Pitt Were Gay As The Day, he's gonna be fine. [NYDN]
  
  
• The Rock, or The Cock? Har har, but no, seriously, Dwayne Johnson sounds like a real asshole. Story: a security guard approaches Dwayne Johnson on a rooftop while he's filming a movie with Mark Wahlberg, Will Ferrell and Samuel L. Jackson. The guard asks The Rock for an autograph for his son, a huge fan, and The Rock shuts him down, saying that he can't give an autograph to everyone who asks. Which is when the security guard grabbed the nearest chair, bashed it over The Rock's head, put him in a figure-four leg-lock, and had his kid dropped from a helicopter onto The Cock's head with one elbow down. I wish. No, instead, he sulked off, saying something about his kid not being a fan anymore, and then The Cock gave him his patented death stare or whatever. Do you smell what The Cock is cooking? Yes, that's correct: horseshit. [Page Six]

At the time, Al Sharpton called for a hate crime investigation. And why wouldn't he? Megan Williams said that she had been "stabbed, sexually assaulted, beaten with sticks, forced to eat human feces and doused with hot water" in a trailer where she was being held captive by white people shouting racial slurs at her. Six people are in prison for the attack (because of physical evidence and their own statements, according to the prosecutor). Now, Williams says she was just trying to get back at her boyfriend, who beat her up. She also says she was pressured by her mother to inflate the case for financial gain.

So: Just another case of race-baiting by Rev. Al! Right? He singlehandedly forced those six convictions into existence! Right? Even though he didn't even get the hate crimes investigation he was asking for? Well. This maybe was a contributing factor to the downfall of the suspects: The two people Williams was living with in the trailer were both convicted murderers, says the NYT.

At the time of the alleged assaults, Ms. Williams was staying at a ramshackle trailer owned by Bobby Brewster and his mother, Frankie Brewster, in Logan County, about 50 miles from Charleston. Mr. Brewster had killed his stepfather at the trailer when he was 12, the authorities said, and served time at a juvenile facility. In July 1994, Mrs. Brewster shot and killed an 84-year-old woman she was looking after, also in the trailer, according to court records. She served six years at a state correctional facility and was paroled in 2000.

By all means, throw out the convictions. Let the people unjustly convicted sue. Hell, fire the prosecutor. But let's skip the "JESSE JACKSON AL SHARPTON PLAYS THE RACE CARD AND IT BACKFIRES AGAIN" bit. (Drudge: "Sharpton pushed WV rape story which turned out to be a hoax..."). Hate crime laws are dumb, but that's not what anyone is arguing about here. They're arguing that Al Sharpton should have known this girl was lying about her charges, even though no one else knew that.
Al Sharpton is not a detective! Although he'd be a funny one. Al Sharpton has many, many cartoonish qualities. But he's also on the right side of most issues. Particularly racial issues. Unlike Drudge, or the New York Post, or most of West Virginia. So, let's all save our valuable breath.

In Limbaugh's WSJ piece, entitled "The Race Card, Football and Me" he writes: "My racial views? You mean, my belief in a colorblind society where every individual is treated as a precious human being without regard to his race? Where football players should earn as much as they can and keep as much as they can, regardless of race? Those controversial racial views?"

What are his racial views exactly? Media Matters documented 28 separate occasions where Limbaugh used racially charged language. They didn't go the Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Michael Wilbon route, picking quotes out of thin air, they did the research and the results are pretty damning.

In this clip Rush calls Obama an "angry black guy"

Here he says "[I]n Obama's America, the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering"

There are 26 other clips that don't exactly portray Rush as someone who does not see race. Quite the contrary. Rush seems obsessed with race. Turns out his critics weren't exactly off the mark, they just choose the wrong quotes.

Gosselin's recent cease-and-desist order for TLC to stop filming the show wasn't a ploy to get back at Kate for getting him kicked off the show, or for him to get more money: it was for the kids. Sure, assface. Many of us would've naively believed that back in May, but this half-way crook (and his wife!) knew his marriage was dunzo when they were resealing their vows in front of their kids on TV. Gosselin went on TV to defend his tabloid-worthy asshattery for the last few months, as well as to apparently make some kind of reconciliation with Kate, as he wants the divorce proceedings to stop. Honestly though, if the kids are off TV, great. But they're still going to grow up to hate their dad for his four months of completely being a cockface. Also, of all the things he regrets, no mention of Ed Hardy? Psh. Y'ain't sorry till you're sorry, holmes. [NYDN]

Her former Today show co-host Matt Lauer could not make a colonoscopy look charming.

Kind of a dickbag making dickbag movies, but lo and behold, he can occasionally impart some wisdom on the masses when not imparting terrible, shitty, expensive movies on them: he recently got on Blog Talk Radio (what?!) to discuss whatever Brett Ratner would discuss on Blog Talk Radio, and ended up talking about America's most popular child rapist, Roman Polanski. He called the LA judicial system "corrupt," and then apologized for it later, specifying his intent to speak solely on the merit of the judge in Polanski's case. Ratner should've said "incompetent," but that would've hit too close to home? [Page Six]

Lindsay Lohan: are you seriously going to be the one to fuck this up for me? God. Damn. You are truly worthless. [NYDN]

Finally, in honor of our favorite aforementioned schizo punk, Weekend Readers: I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend.

Rev. Al went on down to City Hall yesterday to let it be known that he will not be satisfied with Rupe's niceties. The vague "boycott" continues! Probably of more concern to News Corp, Al says he's meeting with the FCC today to lobby against News Corp's NYC ownership waiver. (Does that have any hope of success? No idea, but we hope so, for the sake of a good feud). Even Mayor Bloomberg is now being subjected to jeers over this sensitive issue, for being insufficiently outraged! We applaud Rev. Al's determination to keep this thing going, because he's guaranteed free space in the Daily News as long as he wants. Although his supporters should work on some better slogans:

[Murdoch] says in his statement this will never happen again. Well, he does not say how he intends to see that it never happens again," Sharpton said in front of supporters holding signs reading, "Yes we can shut you down NY Post!" and "How do you spell racism? New York Post."

[NYDN]

Rupert has issued what we must admit is a very civil and human-sounding apology! A day after Al Sharpton and the NAACP vowed to keep on protesting this issue until it hit News Corp in the wallet, the head of News Corp appears in the pages of his dirtiest, fuck-you-Al-Sharpton paper to sincerely apologize. Interesting. Rupert comes off like the responsible father who has to apologize to the neighbors because his kids had a wild party while he was out of town. And while we would have expected a very slick non-apology from Rupert, this almost sounds like (dare we say?) an actual apology:

As the Chairman of the New York Post, I am ultimately responsible for what is printed in its pages. The buck stops with me.

Last week, we made a mistake. We ran a cartoon that offended many people. Today I want to personally apologize to any reader who felt offended, and even insulted.

Over the past couple of days, I have spoken to a number of people and I now better understand the hurt this cartoon has caused. At the same time, I have had conversations with Post editors about the situation and I can assure you - without a doubt - that the only intent of that cartoon was to mock a badly written piece of legislation. It was not meant to be racist, but unfortunately, it was interpreted by many as such.

We all hold the readers of the New York Post in high regard and I promise you that we will seek to be more attuned to the sensitivities of our community.

Ha, this officially makes the New York Post a bunch of cheese-eating surrender monkeys! (Except for you Delonas; it makes you a prancing sheep-fucker.) [Pic via]

The brief backstory: The Post is a right wing rag and has always been pretty well hated by New York's black community (see, for example, Public Enemy's "Letter to the New York Post"). During the Clinton administration, News Corp got a waiver from the FCC that allowed it to own and operate multiple TV stations and newspapers in the NYC market. At the time, Jesse Jackson was perceived as having some pull with the FCC; therefore, News Corp had to play nice with Jesse and Rev. Al during the Clinton years.

Once little Bush came in, though, News Corp was once again cozier with the administration than Jesse and Co. were, so they were able to go right back to their normal state of outright hostility towards black liberals. Now, Al's strategy is to use the cartoon controversy as an excuse to ask the FCC to review News Corp's waiver.

Could that really work? The FCC will naturally be somewhat less dick-riding to News Corp under Obama than it was under Bush, but this still sounds like a stretch. My sense is that this is just a bargaining chip, which could end up making Al Sharpton look foolish if it totally fizzles out. But that could just be leftover pessimism from the past eight years.

Media beef-starter Michael Wolff actually thinks that Post editor Col Allan is going to get canned for this whole cartoon thing! If News Corp really was in danger of losing its waiver, then it certainly wouldn't hesitate to throw the greasy Australian editor overboard. And the NAACP would certainly be satisfied with that. But it would seem more characteristic for News Corp to just say "Fuck you" to black New Yorkers and forge ahead as usual. That's what makes them so fun, and evil!

Sharpton said it's worse than Don Imus' derogatory comments about the Rutgers women's basketball team. The Post, Sharpton said, seems to play into the old stereotype of African Americans being monkeys.

There you have it! Hard to tell from the midday news tight shots, but it looks like they got at least a semi-respectable number of protesters out there, not that anyone at News Corp gives a fuck. Sharpton says if the Post doesn't "take some action" against Delonas and his editors, he'll lead a boycott of advertisers. To which Col Allan, we imagine, finished his Hot Pocket, licked his lips, turned to his editors, and said, "Fuck Al Sharpton." [CBS2]

Sean Hannity, a thick-necked antisemite, has a program on the Fox News Television For Women Network where he used to abuse this smiley liberal comedian named Colmes for an hour. But Colmes broke up with him, and so now Hannity needs a new punching bag.

Well for one night that bag will be Al Sharpton. Sharpton is a comic figure, not well-respected even by many liberals, but the guy argues a bit more forcefully than Alan, and he's also much smarter than Hannity. So it will not be edifying television, and it will be soul-crushing, probably, because crazed baby-farming congressmonster Michele Bachmann is the other panelist, but next Monday we will probably see Al Sharpton make Bachmann cry, or spit fire.

Also Meatloaf will be there. That is not a joke because why would we ever make a joke that absurd? No, Meatloaf will indeed be there, talking about politics.

Despite my own promise to myself over the last few months not to write about Ronn and 5WPR unless they do something truly hilarioutrageous, the amount of disgruntled current and former 5W employees and exasperated reporters who continue to send tips never seems to decline. Just this week Ronn issued a bizarre press release saying his firm would be "making acquisitions" in 2009:

"We are targeting small firms and we are seeing a lot of Public Relations firms doing great work, but are facing tough times. We are very confident that we will continue to grow and view acquisitions as a component of that process. We are cash positive and want to invest in acquisitions to grow."

...he explained. This only prompted more people to point out to us:

• There have been quite a few layoffs at 5W this holiday season, causing much of the staff to live in perpetual terror for their jobs.
• 5W's LA office may or may not still actually exist, but it's not doing well. To say the least.
• Ronn is renting out space in his own offices to anyone at all. Cheap!
• Fun story from a tipster: In October, 5W's HR person—who replaced the last one, who Ronn sued—wanted to call in sick, but came into work, because her presence was requested. She went into a staff meeting, looking ill, and about 20 minutes into the meeting, "passed out, her back to the wall as she slithered to the floor." When she was revived, she finished the day at work. Then left the firm shortly after. Fun times.

But is 5W still sending out irrelevant press releases, which are then forwarded to us, constantly?

AL SHARPTON WILL JOIN CRITICAL MASS CYCLISTS IN AN EFFORT TO STOP NYPD CIVIL RIGHTS ABUSES

WHAT: Rally followed by Critical Mass Ride
WHEN: Friday, May 30, 2008 at 7:00 PM
WHERE: Union Square Park South at 14th Street

New York, NY (May 30, 2008) - Tonight (5/30), cyclists will come together with Reverend Al Sharpton, Nicole Paultre-Bell, civil rights attorney Norman Siegel and others in the community outraged over the NYPD's attack on civil rights, for a pre-Critical Mass rally. The rally, organized by Freewheels, will draw attention to the common pattern of NYPD harassment experienced by diverse groups of law-abiding citizens. Mr. Sharpton and Ms. Paultre-Bell are expected to join the Critical Mass ride in a pedicab following the rally.

Although the degree of abuse is clearly different, the message of the groups is clear; The NYPD's actions must be addressed and dealt with by Mayor Bloomberg.

"Considering the efforts from other parts of the administration to increase non-polluting transportation, we are asking the NYPD to work with the cyclists instead of using unconstitutional tactics to stop the ride", says Barbara Ross, Time's Up! bicycle advocacy volunteer.

Critical Mass is a monthly celebration of non-polluting transportation, which takes place in hundreds of cities around the world. Critical Mass and other group rides have contributed to the increase in cycling and safer streets.

Video evidence of NYPD civil rights abuses from past critical mass rides can be seen at: http://blip.tv/file/784711/

Additional video evidence of the NYPD's harassment campaign against the Critical Mass can be made available to the press.
