Al Sharpton Honors Clint Eastwood's 'Empty Chair' And More At His Annual 'Revvies' Award Show

The Rev. Al is the host of 'Politics Nation with Al Sharpton' on MSNBC. This was the second annual year-end show where The Rev. and his panel gave awards for the high and low points of politics during the year. His panel included Jonathan Capehart, Victoria Defrancesco Soto, Krystal Ball, and Richard Wolffe.

Many of the accolades had ridiculous names such as 'The Empty Chair' and 'Lost Their Shirt' Awards. Also, the panel could barely identify one positive move made by a Republican during 2012, except for Chris Christie's post-Hurricane Sandy photo-op with President Obama - and even that was a back-handed compliment to the Democratic Party. You must take everything the Rev. Al says with a grain of salt as he has a history of stretching the truth. We remember those Tawana Brawley allegations, Rev. But take a look at his list anyway.
