Let’s Make Michael Jackson President
Lord, give me strength.
Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-TX) has introduced a bill to honor Michael Jackson, which, even more inexplicably, has somehow been referred to the House Foreign Affairs Committee (?).
And secondly, what?
The, ahem, piece of proposed legislation lists Jackson’s accomplishments in endless detail, from his #1 hits to the details of his charity work.
I’m not heartless. News of his death saddened me (slightly) – I was still hoping against hope that there might be a successful comeback. Michael Jackson was, no doubt, a very talented individual. Despite his success, he also had a miserable life.
As to the whole kiddie-fiddler thing, yeah he might’ve shared a bed with a kid or two, but I kinda doubt that the man even had genitals. And if he did, they probably disgusted him, anyway, so either way that’s a “no” to doing grossly inappropriate things with/to children.
Michael Jackson is best remembered through his music, not through pointless (and morbid) attempts by politicians to exploit his popularity for their own benefit.

..sorry, but I am going with the comment I heard from a friend almost two weeks ago when he heard that the little perv commenced his dirt nap, “in countless playgrounds and middle schools across the country, there is a collective sigh of relief.”

I predict you have about 20 second before someone posts a comment with the obligatory “Racist! HATE CRIME!” content.

@Bloggers Brother:
That would be too predictable.
“HATE CRIME! Racist!”
There.

Only in America can someone be born a poor black boy and die a rich white woman.
