The Water Cooler Title: AL SHARPTON FUMES AT NYPD AFTER VIAGRA PRESCRIPTION LEAKED TO PRESS The Reverend Al Sharpton lashed out at New York cops on Monday after they revealed to the New York Daily News that they found his Viagra prescription in the apartment of a lawyer friend recently cleared of rape charges. Sharpton claimed that he is “unembarrassable.” According to the NYDN, when asked about the find, “a shocked Sharpton” initially feigned ignorance about the RX note for the sex pills. “I don’t know anything about that, no, I don’t know anything about that,” Sharpton said, “after a speechless second.” He roared back a moment later, accusing the source who leaked the detail of trying to embarrass him with a smear campaign and saying he would demand an investigation. “I am not saying what I do or don’t do, I’m not going to invade my privacy for some cop,” said Sharpton. “I have no knowledge of what was in (Rubenstein’s) apartment. But it’s not uncommon for men of all ages to use certain things. “If the motive of the cop was to embarrass me, at 60 years old, I am unembarrassable,” fumed Sharpton, whose longstanding animosity with the NYPD has reached a fever pitch because of his vocal opposition to stop-and-frisk and close relationship to Mayor de Blasio. The tensions got even worse recently with the execution of two cops who were shot while on duty. The prescription was just the latest in a string of tawdry finds cops made as they searched Rubenstein’s apartment after a top official with Sharpton’s National Action Network accused him of drugging and raping her last year. On Monday, however, prosecutors concluded there was no case. “Given the available evidence, the degree of the complainant’s recollection of what occurred at the suspect’s apartment, and the results of toxicological testing, neither the provable facts nor the applicable law support a prosecution in this matter,” Manhattan District Attorney spokeswoman Joan Vollero said in a statement. An investigation into #ViagraGate – the police conspiracy to embarrass the unembarrassable Al Sharpton – has not been yet been announced.
