For the record, I am no diehard fan of Michael Jackson and I think the media has gone a bit overboard in its coverage of his death for my own taste. But I know others are truly affected by his death.
Regardless, I am amused by how frequently the GOP can bring negative attention to itself. Now GOP Rep. Peter King has publicly trashed Jackson and I’m sure angered a lot of people.
Rep. King's foot in mouth
Regardless of what you think of Jackson, everyone should be offended when someone who recently died gets trashed so publicly and called a "pervert" when he was never found guilty of anything illegal. Best of all is the CNN headline on its front page "GOP lawmaker slams Michael Jackson." Could the GOP make 2010 any easier for us? The GOP should have left well enough alone with the nostalgic photos of MJ with Reagan.
