Yeah, Yeah. Too Soon.

I was watching The Last Word on Tuesday night and Lawrence O'Donnell decided to give "the last word" to his MSNBC colleague, Reverend Al Sharpton. He proceeded to play a clip of Rev. Sharpton speaking about his 87 year old mother who had just passed away in Alabama. In referencing how the country has changed in her lifetime, Rev. Sharpton says:

When she was born in (Alabama) in 1925, she didn't have the right to vote.

Am I the only A-hole who watched that segment and whose first thought was "hmmmm, you know, Al, if she was born in the United States in 2012, she still wouldn't have the right to vote." Why? Because newborns don't vote!
