Oddly enough, the news that Al Sharpton's driver was arrested for speeding when trying to transport The Right Reverend to DFW after his photo op with Cindy Sheehan wasn't much of a surprise. Sure, I was slightly surprised that he was able to allegedly hit 110 MPH.

But, I wasn't surprised that the Rev professed their innocence:

"That nine-mile chase is news to me... All I know is that the police pulled us over because they wanted to talk to the driver about speeding."

However, this part is what leaves me scratching my noggin:

Sharpton caught a lift from a passing driver and made his scheduled flight to New York.

If you saw the Rev thumbing a ride on the side of the road, would you stop to pick him up?
