In case you "forgot" to set your DVR for the battle of the wits shameless yelling between Al "Reactionary" Sharpton and Bernard "I Came Up With The 'Nappy-Headed Ho's Bit" McGuirk, the NYP breaks it down for you!

The headline? "REV. AL AND IMUS GUY IN HO-DOWN." And, from the sound of it, it was a real doozy!

The Rev. Al Sharpton and fired shock-jock Don Imus' longtime producer, Bernard McGuirk, faced off on Fox News Channel last night in a fiery "debate."

"Let's get ready to box on Fox!" crowed McGuirk, as the two combatants sat down for round one of the segment.

As McGuirk, who was canned along with Imus after the "nappy-headed hos" incident last month, spent most of the Hannity & Colmes show charging Sharpton with hypocrisy while Sharpton spent most of the time fighting back.

And, lest you think the verbal sparring match dropped off towards the end, the Post quickly assures us that wasn't the case, noting that "[a]t one point it seemed Sharpton might even leave the set after being called a 'crude, humorless opportunist' by McGuirk."

Oh, SNAP! The conclusion (and sporadically available video excerpt) after the jump!

During a commercial break, Sharpton complained that everybody - Sean Hannity, Alan Colmes and McGuirk - was ganging up on him.

"You gotta remember, you guys are all on the same side - I got one intern, a guy in the back and somebody else over there," Sharpton joked, nodding at the few black people in the studio, including a Post reporter.

Solidarity, brother.

Because while Sharpton was calling out to all his dark-skinned brethren, you just know that the black guy operating the boom mic was sitting there thinking, "Damn, Al Sharpton's crazy!"

Boy, do we wish we'd have seen it firsthand. After all, who could have ever predicted that Imus' producer was as unfunny as Don Imus himself and that Sharpton would've played the race card??

Oh, wait.

Below, the first installment of the Great Debate!
