Clarification needed

One hates to be snippy about details at a time like this, but it’s hard to believe Al Sharpton’s comment to Michael Jackson’s kids at Tuesday’s memorial service for the King of Pop:

“Wasn’t nothing strange about your daddy.”

Jeez, Al, wasn’t that a teensy bit over the top?

How about, “Not everything about him was strange.”

Or, “Sometimes he did normal things.”

Or even, “He was extremely weird but had many nice points too.”

Just a thought.

One has to consider the source of the comment. Old Al is a couple bubbles off plumb himself. Nothing normalizes the weirdos like a crowd of wilderness.

Am I the only fellow in the USA who isn't a reverend? Just a thought.
