Rep. King should have kept his mouth shut, in my opinion. Why do members of Congress need to weigh in on the death of celebrities when the perversion of our Constitution, economic system, and country in general is going on behind closed doors.

Honestly, his comments just keep the MJ death in the news a little longer or give the media ONE more aspect to talk about instead of covering what is actually happening, not that they need much of an excuse anyway.

Politicians can never keep their mouths shut, King is no exception

"Why do members of Congress need to weigh in on the death of celebrities when the perversion of our Constitution, economic system, and country in general is going on behind closed doors."

Oh, I don't know ... perhaps because it is refreshing to actually hear a member of our country's leadership speak the truth and identify the perverted freak that is being worshipped in the media as a cultural superhero. Children are being bombarded 24/7 with praise and adoration for this demented soul.

What King said about Jackson in no way diminishes or ignores the harm that is being done to this country by our out-of-control government. By your reasoning, our leaders shouldn't speak out against any other social or moral ill such as abortion or letting child molesters walk free after a slap on the wrist because they are perverting the Constitution with their legislative actions. The freak show that was Jackson's life needs to be denounced and demeaned by every single one of us, including our leaders. The truth, and frank discussion of what is true, is the best disinfectant against the sickness in our society.

"Honestly, his comments just keep the MJ death in the news a little longer or give the media ONE more aspect to talk about instead of covering what is actually happening, not that they need much of an excuse anyway."

What King had to say is simply not going to extend by one second the coverage that is currently being given to Jackson. The coverage is not going to wane until weeks after the autopsy results are released. That is a fact.

Rep. King has it right. The Republican party is one to ignore the obvious things that are destroying our culture and our country...and turning the other cheek...you know, “keep it clean”.

Observe the winning party that is in charge. They are destroying our country and those who disagree with them.

The game was changed long ago, who is in?
