A bit more about Al Sharpton; the man who does not know much about Kyoto or tax rates.

-It should come as no surprise. Al Sharpton’s favorite song is "Talking Loud, Saying Nothing" by James Brown.

-Jesse Jackson named Sharpton (age 14 at the time) the youth director for Operation Breadbasket, an organization that promoted equal opportunity employment.

-I'd say James Brown was my father, Jesse Jackson was my teacher. Jesse helped me with political and ministerial issues. James Brown was more personal. I would talk to James Brown about a girlfriend, or what clothes to buy."

-Family: Wife, Kathy Lee Jordan, backup singer for "Godfather of Soul" James Brown; daughters, Dominique and Ashley.

-Education: Tilden High School, Brooklyn, 1972; Brooklyn College (dropped out).
