The Michael Jackson Memorial Service — Much Adieu About Nothin’!

Rep. Peter King on Michael Jackson’s Legacy

I was never a big Michael Jackson fan. The little bugger was cute at 5, and if Fred Astaire thought that he was an amazing dancer, so be it for me to disagree. He was even a pretty good lookin’ guy, as can be seen on the cover of Thriller — before he started his many rounds of self mutilation to remove his “blackness” and in many regards, his “maleness”. Let’s face it, trying to look like a white Dianna Ross is weirdness run amok, even for a proclaimed “King of Pop”.

But, enough already. Hundreds, if not thousands of hours of media coverage since his death — Michael Jackson songs on the radio ad nauseum — as if he were the equivalent of Princess Di. I think that Peter King puts it all in proper perspective in the YouTube clip above. King’s criticism has even struck a couple of nerves. Michelle Malkin highlights the “masses” that are trying to unseat King in the next election — Oooooooooooooo! ;-)

Genghis over at Ace nailed it last night with his evening message to the morons:

I imagine you all want to hit the rack early tonight so you can get up at the crack of dawn and not miss a second of the solemn and dignified events taking place in L.A. tomorrow (forecast is for mostly sunny skies with a 90% chance of riots by those turned away from the memorial).

Folks massing at Staples Center, turning over cars and burning trash cans — didn’t we just do that last month after the Lakers won their NBA title? Yawn . . .

Sorry, think I’ll pass. Time to move on folks, nothin’ really to see here.

    I just think, michael jackson has done really good music but he was since already long time a bit dead. on the other hand i respect the people who has taken his dead as something huge and very sad, but i must say i dont. I think there are other deads to pay more attention.
