And the Chutzpah Award Goes To...

I tried to watch the Democratic debate but when I saw that the humorist Al Sharpton wasn't included I turned the channel. I never could think odious thoughts about Sharpton since a comedic sense covers a multitude of sins. I still can't decide who the Unadulterated Chutzpah award should go to:
1) Dennis Kucinich - while mayor of Cleveland, the city went bankrupt. I suppose he should offer the mutual fund disclaimer, "past performance doesn't guarantee future results."

2) Carol Mosley Braun out-grafted and out-corrupted her fellow Senators, no mean feat. If they could sell confidence like this everyone would be running for Prez.

3) Al Sharpton - no commentary really needed, but was once shown a video of himself apparently making a drug buy (cocaine). Unflustered, he asked where the rest of the tape was and suggested that the tape should be shown in its entirety, as if that would exonerate him. Owns a Ph.D. in alchemizing disaster into publicity.
