Michael Jackson in the Hospital

[Squantos]

He went in to get a six year old growth removed probably....

[Peach]

On the other thread, freeper reported the judge now wants to talk with the doctor. Whether that's by phone or in the court, I don't know.

[CitizenM]

It should be a shrink, if any doctor!

[HairOfTheDog]

MJ's attorney walking around looking for motorcaid.

I feel a little sorry for his attorney... a highly educated, highly skilled attorney, reduced to babysitter for a tantrum child.

[Mo1]

FNC is reporting that Cottage Hospital is reporting that MJ left there at 8:45 west coast time

[Carolinamom]

Breaking news always happens when I leave the house!

[mhking]

This is fun!

T-minus fifteen minutes and counting...

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[retrokitten]

[Peach]

That lawyer will regret taking this case. But he's being well paid for all the aggravation.

[KJC1]

Fox saying Jackson left hospital at 11:45 EST.

They said earlier the hospital is about 48 miles away.

Sounds like a real squeaker here.

[mystery-ak]

Will there be a wheelchair waiting for him....this should be good.

[Howlin]

We need XM Radio.

Fox says he's going to make it, dang it!

[CitizenM]

The attorney is raking in the money, whether Jackson needs babysitting, or file searching. Don't feel a bit sorry for the lawyer.

[michigander]

Did someone call for a doctor?

[Howlin]

That's what I'm thinking!

[PilloryHillary]

'That lawyer will regret taking this case. But he's being well paid for all the aggravation.'

I wonder if he's going to be paid at all....Jackson hasn't been able to even meet payroll at Neverland.

[HairOfTheDog]

motorcycle cops ???? Escort to the court house??? Unbelievable

You know... I wonder, but I bet it's a necessity... between fans, protestors, and the even more childish and disruptive press, he'd probably never get through otherwise.

[retrokitten]

I was thinking the same thing. Wheelchair and IV, possibly neckbrace, maybe a crutch thrown in for good luck.

[Rutles4Ever]

What a crock! How much is this costing the county to send a MOTORCADE for a courtroom NO-SHOW!

[Howlin]

Then why didn't he call his OWN attorney.

[Mo1]

I don't think I have seen anything like this

They are bending over big time for MJ

Ummmm .. remind again who was the one arrested here??

[Ghengis]

Jackson doesn't own a White Bronco does he?

[MKM1960]

MSNBC has time remaining clock up. LOL

[CitizenM]

And the taxpayers bear the burden of the cost of the Jackson circus tickets.

[kcvl]

Jim Hammer, Fox News, says that Jackson can be charged with contempt of court.

Jackson "spokesperson" is saying that Jackson's back went out. Ha! She is the tongue-tied one with the long blonde hair. She was laughing outside the courthouse earlier. Now, she is MAKING EXCUSES!

[Miss Marple]

Dang! I won't have TV until the 2-year old goes down for her nap! I hope that motorcycle escort is staying within the speed limit. LOL!

[cspackler]

Oh, to be a cop there now... As soon as his limo went over the speed limit, I'd pull him over and write a ticket.

A long, slow, ticket...

[Rutles4Ever]

Sweet - "Uh, Mr. Jackson? Do you have a note with you?"

[Howlin]

They do it EVERY SINGLE day...........can you believe that?

I'm sick of these special people making the law look silly.

The judge needs to give him ONE NIGHT in jail, for sure.

But he won't. There's always a "reason."

[Mo1]

Then why didn't he call his OWN attorney.

IMO .. his attorney knew

[retrokitten]

LOL!!! I knew someone would do it!

[Peach]

Just switched to FNC:

Raymone Bain, MJ spokesman, says that MJ went to hospital at 5:30 and she's trying to figure out what the delay was at the hospital because it was his intention to be in court on time.

MJ did reach out to his attorney and told him why he'd be late. FNC asking why then the attorney couldn't answer the judge about hwere Jackson was.

My words: Since when does anyone expect to get in and out of the hospital in a few hours? Sheesh.

[mystery-ak]

praying for a traffic jam..

[Hoodlum91]

Seriesly? that's hysterical!

[zippee]

Yikes. I hope if Jackson comes back to court that he has a Dr.s Note.

[Howlin]

I'd lay money they are his!

[HairOfTheDog]

The attorney is raking in the money, whether Jackson needs babysitting, or file searching. Don't feel a bit sorry for the lawyer.

Oh I know... I feel sorry for him in a tongue and cheek way because with a job defending this weirdo to a judge and jury, he also has to look in the mirror some days and shake his head at what he's become. It's just such a circus! He's making money, but it isn't the funnest kind of money.

[SAMS]

Heard that flipping thru channels, first thought that came to mind, "What the hell has HE EVER done that could cause him to have a bad back??"

[Peach]

This is so ridiculous. MJ at 16 mile mark.

[Miss Marple]

Hahaha! You and I were thinking along the same liines!

[CitizenM]

Listening to Miss Bain (sp?) now. Yuck - excuses, excuses..."Jackson's back went out around 5:00 am. Doesn't know what took so long at hospital. Michael always intended to be there on time...etc." Yuck.

[metesky]

Oooh! You bad!
:O)

[King Prout]

did his nose fall off?

[Claytay]

Foxnews reporting Jackson is 18 miles from the town of Santa Maria

[Mo1]

MSNBC has time remaining clock up. LOL

LOL !!!

[Howlin]

A sure "clue" to whether this was fake or not will be whether he has on his MAKEUP. Supposedly they are saying this happened while he was getting dressed and he became "paralyzed."

If so, he should be on a stretcher with NO makeup!

[johnb838]

Oh, I'm quite sure the attorney got his up front.

[Rutles4Ever]

Eighteen miles? He's not going to make it. He's coming from Santa Ynez, for crying out loud!

[Peach]

Repeat:

Spokeswoman says that MJ did call his attorney a little after 5:30 a.m.

However, FNC says that doesn't make sense because the judge is furious that the attorney didn't have information about MJ's whereabouts.

[Sybeck1]

Is there a helicopter in the air following this?
