Mr. Jackson Goes to Washington

1. I like Michael Jackson as much as the next guy, but I still think there's always time for a bit of Uk Parkour, especially in my home town of Sheffield, where Michael Jackson never visited:

3. Unnecessary..? Like the moment of silence in Washington for him? As if someone who was doing wonderfully good things for the World had passed.

4. Jackson was an entertainer. A good entertainer. But just an entertainer. Congress should stop wasting their time on this and get back to getting the economy again.

6. Yay! I know his charitable works were very important to him and it's nice to see him get some recognition for that.

7. OK. MJ was a fantastic song and dance man in his day but come on.........9-11 didn't even have this much coverage.

There are soldiers dying at this very moment in the mideast - and not one of these polticians even care to commemorate their deaths. I don't consider him a great humanitarian nor a great leader. The people he lead were his fans - and what exactly did he do humanitarian-wise except donate a little money?

There has been enough praise and adoration already. There is other news to cover, there are other people who died....

Leave it alone, let the poor guy rest in peace. King was not right in what he said, but he has a right to say it.

8. Congress is going to debate the resolution on Michael Jackson? They can't even read and debate the real
legislation they pass. Why not honor the real heroes in the Army, Navy, Air Force and the Marines.

9. Mentally ill, drug addicted, accused of child molestation. It sounds like he will fit right in with the Washington gang.

15. Do you really think that if MJ wasn't the man who bridged the gap between black and white that you would have Obama as president? He was a humanitarian, a daddy, a son, a human.. and he deserves to be recognized.. just like any other citizen.. the congressman was way outta line.. just as if he had said something racist against african americans, jewish or homosexuals.. he should be made to apologize.. plain and simple.. RIP MJ...
