Ablogination

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee has fallen off the turnip truck and now that this imbecilic resolution has been offered and the Democratic party has been dragged into it, there’s no way to be silent about it.

Michael Jackson. The guy was a fucking joke.
Sorry, but rarely have I ever seen a more ridiculous specimen in modern music. Michael Jackson made Marilyn Manson look like Mary Poppins.

I do sympathize to the extent that I remember him as a cute, mega-talented seven year old on the Jackson 5 TV show. But that’s where it ends.
I have no respect for anyone who had the world in the palm of their hand and threw it all away to be some sort of side-show freak and that’s what MJ was. A freak.
An arrogant, self-absorbed, eccentric stage-whore who for some reason thought it was ok to have other people’s children sleep with him.

Oh, and disco still sucks, so his music was even more annoying than his physical appearance and his creepy behavior.

I’m sorry he’s dead, but this funeral idol worship reminds me of the Republican ghouls dragging Ronald Reagan’s rotted corpse around the country like a float in the Macy’s parade.
It’s not like Mike was Dick Cheney or some other sub-human life form, but he certainly wasn’t any kind of martyr or anything remotely close.

The fact that Texas Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee sponsored this resolution is disturbing. First, this is a type of resolution that reeks of Republican shallowness. It’s like passing a resolution to honor Toby Keith. I mean WTF?
With health care and countless other important issues before congress Lee should have known this could cause the party problems and basically make us look like idiots.

Michael Jackson gave to charity etc etc…True.
So have I but I don’t see any honor captainkona resolutions being offered up.
Michael Jackson made music and sold a lot of records…True.
So did Roy Orbison and his music, by contrast, didn’t suck. But no reso for the Orbster either.
Rep. Lee, you were either grandstanding or you’ve become a complete schmuck over the last few years. Whichever it is, it’s not good.

Thanx go out to Speaker Pelosi for nipping this foolishness in the bud before it became a distraction to the really important matters at hand.

And of course, I don’t want to end this post without mentioning the inescapable fact that Republican Politicians have no business pointing fingers and calling people “pedophiles” when they are the worst of the worst when it comes to child sexual abuse.

I honestly hope this goofy crap stops now.
