I always said he was the Jeff Probst of presidential candidates

Al Sharpton to host a reality show.


"I'm the working man's [Donald] Trump," Sharpton said. "He brings people into the penthouse. We bring them into the house."

Pardon my whiteness, but what the hell does that mean? I thought the phrase was "in the house" and changing the preposition destroys the idiom. Then again, I thought people wouldn't watch other people eating cow rectums for prizes.

I think he's trying to allude to a different house.

He may also be an idiot. There's supporting evidence.
