Sharpton Eulogizes Cokie Roberts With Picture of Christiane Amanpour
[Free Beacon] MSNBC PoliticsNation host Al Sharpton mourned the passing of journalist Cokie Roberts on Tuesday by sending out a tweet with pictures of the still-living journalist Christiane Amanpour.
"Crackers all look the same to me"
Sharpton tweeted, "Saddened to hear of the passing of legendary journalist Cookie [sic] Roberts. Here is a Easter Sunday special we did in 2011. May she Rest In Peace," along with several pictures of Amanpour. Aside from the obvious misidentification of the deceased, Sharpton misspelled Roberts's name.
Photo forwarded to Sharpton by Congressman Hank Johnson ?
Critics were quick to point out Sharpton's errors, and he deleted the tweet.

Any news on Al's delinquent taxes ?

Last I checked, it was at 3.5 million (down from about $5 million), a tab he ran up by not paying his nonprofit's payroll taxes. I don't know if it's still on the IRS' books, as a tax debt is uncollectible after ten years, with a few exceptions.
