Last week - after Matrix Media announced a deal for Sharpton to host a "Limbaugh of the Left"-type talk radio show - the conservative radio star said he'll think about mentoring the minister in the finer points of the medium.

Sharpton told me: "I was a little surprised, but I'm willing to take him up on his speculative offer. I think it would be interesting. It would be something that both of us can learn from. He can learn some of the thoughts of the left, and I can learn some of the techniques of the right. Let's see if he's serious."

"At this point, Rush is still undecided," Carson said. "He's very flattered that Rev. Sharpton is interested in doing this. Rush is still considering giving him some pointers, some tutoring.

"Rush also believes that Rev. Sharpton has the best shot of anyone to be the Limbaugh of the Left. He is also very impressed that he has the humility to admit he has something to learn. ... So we'll see."

From Rush's show

And now here comes the Reverend Sharpton, and I'm thinking, of all the candidates there have been, Al Sharpton may have the best chance. Sharpton may actually have the best chance, and I'm frankly getting tired of all this. I'm getting tired of every six months seeing a new Limbaugh of the left. I'm thinking -- I haven't made up my mind about this -- but I'm thinking of having Reverend Sharpton into this studio and let him guest host the program for like 30 minutes at a time while I am sitting here critiquing him. In other words, mentoring Al Sharpton, and let's be done with this.

A Limbaugh of the left??? That would be Michael Moore! Bwahahaha! They need someone as devious as Rush, and Moore fits the bill. Sharpton is an intellectual prude compared to Moore.
