(snip) "On the eve of the publication of this story, The Village Voice received an extraordinary letter signed by the two attorneys most closely associated with Reverend Al Sharpton, Michael Hardy and Sanford Rubenstein. Promising "to pursue all legal remedies" if the story appeared, the letter spelled out what it said was "a false allegation" involving Sharpton's wife of 23 years, Kathy Sharpton, noting that the Voice had "been informed" of this allegation by "several individuals." Then it warned that publishing "any story which talks about false allegations of Rev. Sharpton and not false allegations regarding Ms. Sharpton would demonstrate your actionable malice towards Rev. Sharpton."

2. Read it. Unimpressed.

The Voice seems to have some kind of personal vendetta against Sharpton. Most of that story looked like personal-life gossip that reminds me of the Clinton years.

If the man has a fucked up personal life, that's his business. Camping outside the apartment of his alleged mistress is going way to far.
