both sides now... let's move on

Sharpton, shut your yap about a postage stamp for MJ... if it's meant to be, then it will happen after the proscribed 5-year waiting period.

Jackson family, do we really need ANOTHER memorial service in London next month? Really?

And Peter King, shut the hell up ... don't know whether the comments made this weekend were for a possible NY Senate run or something bigger in 2012 (fat freakin' chance, buddy), but your "pervert" and "low-life" statements made outside an American Legion hall were pure grandstanding...

Not that he doesn't have a point with which I agree: do I want the media blitz to be over? sure. Do I think he was a grade-A whackjob? Yeah... gotta cop to that. Do I wish the deaths of servicemen and -women (and cops, firefighters, etc [and teachers, too, King... you left them out, oh yeah, they don't fit into your blue-collar push]) were afforded the same kind of universal tribute? You bet your ass, and in a perfect world that would be the case. But this isn't a perfect world. In this imperfect world, Jackson was acquitted of the abuse charge, so let's tone down the "child molester... pedophile" statements, as if they were proven in a court of law.

All of this is a vain attempt for a second-rate politico to cash in on the public fascination of the items that matter not in the big scheme of things.

So can we put the Jackson stuff, both overblown, hyperbolic tributes and diatribes, into the coffin with him. Puh-lease...
