Reports this morning indicate that Republican Rep. Michael Grimm, who once famously threatened to throw a reporter off a “f*cking balcony” at the U.S. Capitol, will plead guilty to tax evasion charges in a Federal court in Brooklyn later today:

But it’s this zinger from Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren against MSNBC rival Rev. Al Sharpton and his tax woes that has us chuckling this morning:
Rep Grimm to plead guilty to tax charge today – how about just getting #Sharpton on payment plan?
— Greta Van Susteren (@greta) December 23, 2014
A payment plan would be nice. But considering, as we reported yesterday, that Sharpton has allegedly visited the White House 39 times in the past 6 years despite his unpaid tax bill, we won’t hold our breath.
