Interpretation needed

Can someone explain this Boondocks cartoon? I get it every day but I can't always understand it, due to being in the UK and therefore unaware of much that happens in the US. Thanks.

Lol. Al Sharpon is this Democrat guy with funky hair, and Dean is the guy who will be running as presidential canidate for the Democratic Party in the next election. Basically, it showing how they kiss Dean's ass. People seem to like him for no logical reason.

Dean is fast becoming the corporate media's darling challenger to Bush. Sharpton, perhaps the most progressive of the candidates, is barely on the radar. Dean has been capable of stealing progressive rhetoric from the late Senator Paul Wellstone, for example, by identifying himself as "the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party." I do not know where Dean has stolen Sharpton's lines, but I would not put it past him...

Basically, It doesn't matter what Sharpton says. Nobody Gives a sh!t...which is sad. They have ruled him out completely.

Thanks, can I have more info on Sharpton?

[Xvall]

No.

Dean is a pretender. He couldn't hold Paul Wellstone's jock strap. Sharpton has been marginalized out of the race because he is black. Period.

Kucinich is the only true lefty in the bunch and the media portrays him as a crackpot.

Kucinich is coming to my town Thursday. I may go and listen to what he has to say.

Sure.

The comic just shows how stupid our U$ system has become with partisan differences. Democrats and Republicans hate each other the same way they both hate communism. They are so busy disliking each other that by the time they know it, China will rise as the next world super power.
