YEEEEEE-HAAA!: Sharpton Driver on "Hazzardous" Thrill Ride

One wouldn't expect a member of Al Sharpton's entourage to be a fan of redneck humor.

Yet one must wonder whether it was inspiration from the recent "Dukes of Hazzard" movie remake that drove Rev. Sharpton's driver to take local cops on a nine-mile, 110-mph chase through the rural Texas.

The Chicago Tribune reports that driver Jarrett Mauphin was seen weaving in out of traffic at high speeds in a 2005 Lincoln, apparently taking Rev. Sharpton to the airport after his visit with famed war protester Cindy Sheehan.

It gets better -- apparently, after police detained Maupin, Rev. Sharpton THUMBED A RIDE from a passing motorist and made his flight.

You know, you just can't make this stuff up. I can't wait to see what other celebrities show up in Crawford and do goofy things.

Oh, Martin Sheen was there, but *sigh* he didn't do anything.

(A-neerder neerderder neerderder neerderder neerderder neerderder neerderder neerderder neerderder neerderder neerderder neerderder neerderder neerderder neerderder needer-neer) Son, you're gonna drive me to drinkin' if you don't quit drivin' that hot * rod * Lincoln...

Apologies to Charlie Ryan -- I couldn't resist.
