Originally posted by Gattigap - I think the media, instead of attacking Sharpton immediately on his past transgressions, wanted to see if he would become the heir to Jesse Jackson as the predominant leader in the African-American community.
- He gets coverage because he's irreverent and can be amusing without the risk of being taken seriously, like Dean was 12 months ago.
- He apparently has a lifetime pass to appear on Bill Mahrer's HBO show.
- IMO, he doesn't get any meaningful coverage anyway.
- The media assumes he'll be gone after this week.

I don't think he gets much more coverage than Alan Keyes. And if he does, it's because he has a knack for coming up with good lines.
