WASHINGTON The House of Representatives paused for a moment of silence Friday to mark entertainer Michael Jackson's death.
Lawmakers briefly interrupted a debate on a global warming bill to stand in silence and honor the "King of Pop."
Rep. Diane Watson of California rose during the debate to suggest the House "pay tribute to the culture that he has left behind, his legacy."
Watson said the lawmakers send their condolences to Jackson's family, friends and his fans worldwide.
Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. of Illinois said the singer changed the world and he wants to "thank God for letting all of us live in his generation and in his era."

Brother...These men get spit from congress...I know that W went out of his way for families.
Pedophiles R’Us.
Elvis was only a prescription drug addict, not a creepy pedophile also like MJ
so i guess that makes "da howse" truly "progressive"
Did any of the irresponsible pan e circo American MSM this week interview the victims of child molestation left behind and what they thought about Michael's death? I doubt few of them were crying. Some might have even achieve (ssshh, listen, a liberal word's a coming).... "CLOSURE".
thank you
Congress will not have a moment of silence for this little man and his family, but will for a child molester.
I hear ya. Marc Lamont Hill is by far the most offensive of FNC's political contributors. He brings nothing to the table but black nationalist, racist, and communist viewpoints. Columbia professor, not surprisingly.
Michael touched everyone in a special way, especially small children.
What a steaming load. Stupid Congress.
Yes, an entire disfunctional group saluting the disfunctional Jackson. Now that’s something to be proud of.
Speaking of Jackson...where in the heck is the family taking his body? Are they gonna’ sneak in and bury him in Neverland? Screw the laws in Santa Barbara County?
How about it!? What the heck is the matter with people?

LOL
“Abortion advocates honor pedophile”
I don’t really care except that the best outcome would be for it to disappear. The family better make sure the pedophile is buried where no one can find it. Sure as heck Jackson bots or some nut will want to dig him up and put the creep on display.
I hadn’t thought of that. Maybe that’s why the family’s being secretive.
I figured that the family was going to try some voodoo to bring him back to life. ;-)
You can be assured that there will be “Jackson sightings” on a regular basis. Whether or not that is achieved through Voodoo or simply overwrought imaginations is immaterial.
