Sharpton Launches 'Hunger' Strike Until Loretta Lynch Is Confirmed
[Daily Caller] The Rev. Al Sharpton, whose head already resembles a deflated balloon collapsing into an Italian suit, apparently thinks he still needs to lose a few pounds. That's the only plausible explanation for the following.
Seung Min Kim, Politico:
Loretta Lynch is still waiting to be confirmed as attorney general, and her allies are hoping a hunger strike will do the trick.
The advocacy group founded by the Rev. Al Sharpton, along with female civil-rights leaders, are launching the hunger strike -- where groups of fasters will alternate days abstaining from food until Lynch is confirmed to replace Eric Holder at the Justice Department.
'Alternating days'...symbolic half-measures. Hands in the air, 'don't eat, don't eat, don't eat!'
