Rev. Al’s (Ex-)Wife and Daughter Arrested! It’s true, the Very Reverend Blowhard Al Sharpton’s former blushing bride, Kathy Jordan, 53, and their daughter, Dominique, 23, were arrested after running a red light in Harlem.

The NYPD doesn’t customarily incarcerate red-light violators, especially in Harlem, but this situation was unique.

According to the Houston Chronicle, Al was fuming and shocked, I tell you, over the incident, twittering in not just his usual twitter but on Twitter.

In high dudgeon he twitted, “I cannot imagine how two unarmed women with no record could be taken in cuffs from a traffic dispute with NO personal or property damage involved.”

Without literally invoking his usual charges of racism, he merely insinuated it: “Well this is what we deal with every day. We will never accept unfairness. (There was) no drugs or drinking at all.”

Now, the last thing NYC cops would want to do would be to offend Rev. Al and his constituency so one must suspect there was more to the matter that met the eye, including an exhibition of “blackitude,” that attitude expressed in oppressed indignation long synonymous with northern African-Americans.

After speeding though the light past a police car, the pair were cuffed and arrested for resisting arrest and after arguing over a traffic summons: http://bit.ly/1oZLKs

We be related to the mutherf*cking Al Sharpton and we has our own as president! Yo can jest shove that ticket!”

Let’s have a shout-out for the NYPD!

Pee-Wee Is Still Pee-Wee! On a note much lighter than Sharpton, that scamp Pee-Wee Herman, aka, Paul Reubens, has announced he is still the beloved Pee-Wee and that, after a 19 year absence, “he was bringing his brilliant Pee-Wee character back to the stage.”

His fans “went into a tizzy:”. . .
