On Meet the Press just now:

RUSSERT: “Would you take someone like Al Sharpton as your vice president?”

GEPHARDT: “I haven’t made that decision yet. …”

Isn’t that something? Gephardt doesn’t have the guts to say that he wouldn’t choose Tawana Brawley’s pastoral counselor, a rabble-rousing, race-baiting Harlem street preacher who has never served on as much as a sewer board, as his running mate. For non-Democrats, this Sharpton for President campaign is going to be an unparalled delight to watch. Rev. Al’s opponents are scared to death of him.
