“Roger Stone, the longtime Republican dirty-tricks operative who led the mob that shut down the Miami-Dade County recount and helped make George W. Bush president in 2000, is financing, staffing, and orchestrating the presidential campaign of Reverend Al Sharpton.

Though Stone and Sharpton have tried to reduce their alliance to a curiosity, suggesting that all they do is talk occasionally, a Voice investigation has documented an extraordinary array of connections.” A surprising investigative report by the Village Voice, if it is to be believed in the face of vociferous denials from the Sharpton campaign. I wonder if Stone is still working for the Republicans in this effort, if you catch my meaning.
