And I'd add that there's politicians of all stripes and colors who are like this. They make their living off bringing up the same issues over and over but they never really try to solve anything, because it's not in their best interests.
But no one does it better than Jesse and Al.

Wow, that is an amazing quote--do you have a reference for it? I've never heard that before (from him) but it is stunningly relevant to Sharpton and Jackson.
