"disgusting"

I missed hearing about the moment of silence for the troops lost in Afghanistan

[pnut22]

Headlines should all read “alleged pedophile dies from drug overdose.” Period.

[djsherin]

I’m glad Congress sticks to its constitutionally delegated powers.

Lawmakers briefly interrupted a debate on a global warming bill

Well, at least ONE good thing resulted from MJ's demise.

[plain talk]

Lawmakers briefly interrupted a debate on a global warming bill to stand in silence and honor the "King of Pop."

I'm speechless.

Why aren’t they doing this for our brave KIAs, who dwarf that one man freak show in importance to our nation?

[johniegrad]

“Self important criminals honor pedophile” alert.

[hellbender]

Look at the bright side. Anything which delays a global warming bill can’t be all bad.

“The House of Representatives paused for a moment of silence Friday to mark entertainer Michael Jackson’s death. “

And the moment of silence for the kidnapped (and still missing I think) soldier in Afghanistan?
Waiting, waiting..

It truly is disgusting.

They should do us all a favor and pay tribute with 6 months of silence....really.....go home.

""pay tribute to the culture that he has left behind, his legacy."

I wonder which culture they refer to ;

the culture of "thriller" creepiness ?

or the culture of child molestation

A few minutes ago on The Factor Professor Marc Lamont called Jackson "the greatest musical genius since Mozart." No joke.

[Dov in Houston]

This MJ crap has gotten totally out of hand.

In my opinion all I can say is “Michael WHO?”

[alecqss]

Rather pathetic as lately anything that Congress does...

[BluH2o]

The House of Representatives paused for a moment of silence Friday to mark entertainer Michael Jackson's death.

Many in the House of Representatives identify with Michael Jackson. The list starts with homosexual, child abusing pedophile ... and I'm only getting started.

[kindred]

A moment of silence for a known pervert is just plain evil.

How about moment for Farrah Faucett, who had a ton of courage to battle cancer for those years. She was a great entertainer and had class. She died on the same day if I remember correctly.

[tioga]

moment of silence? or as my mother always said if you can’t find anything nice to say about someone don’t say anything at all.

[Cheetahcat]

HUH?? what about the poeple who wrote his Music No mention??

[Lexington Green]

It’s National Dead Pedophile Day. What next? Naming elementary schools after him.
