Tonight's show takes us once again to Harvard and our Battle for the White House
Series....The Rev. Al Sharpton will be here for the full hour to go one on one with
Chris. I'm expecting at once an informative and entertaining night. It's definitely
a "must see" or "Tivo this" kinda show. Sharpton was on fire last night at the Dem
debate with his thoughts on Iraq "It's no longer Russian Roulette, it's Bush
Roulette"....
You'll laugh, you'll cry. You'll not want to miss it. Sharpton's in the House
tonight and so should you...Oh, and keep the fire extinguisher handy. It could get
hot in here tonight..
MSNBC Sharpton embed Tommy Llamas gives us a backgrounder on tonight's guest:
