Congressman Peter King stirred up plenty of controversy with his remarks about Michael Jackson, whom he called a "low-life" and a "child molester," while openly wondering why the media have chosen to obsess over the singer instead of, say, the important headline issues of the day. Of course he is right. The way the media have slobbered over Jackson in the week-plus since his death has been a disgrace. The world is coming apart at the seams - revolution in Iran, a coup in Honduras, a serial killer terrorizing South Carolina - and CNN is almost wall-to-wall Jackson. The only thing the media haven't covered about Jackson is the fact that he was a sick, disturbed individual who touched children. They have been far too busy erecting his statue on Olympus to bother with those trifling details.
That being said...Peter King is almost as big a moron as Sarah Palin. Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn sometimes.
