Two freaks on tv on the same night, Jackson and clinton. How "lucky" can you get?

The pedophile who thinks he is a little girl should be in jail not on T.V. (Jackson that is).

I have carpel tunnel syndrome from changing between Jackson and Clinton. Who is the biggest LOSER? Inquiring minds would like to know.

I was so engrossed in MJ's freak show and a Frontline about Child welfare I completely missed Clinton. Which is fine since he just annoys me anyway. (or her, whichever).

Gotta tell you though, that MJ thing was as wierd a show as I've ever seen on TV. Totally bizzarre. I kept wanting to laugh, but the guy is so pathetic I couldn't.

[reagandemocrat]

Believe me, they're all nuts.

[Lancey Howard]

All he's telling us now is that Hollywood is a place where sanity goes to die

Great line.

[battlegearboat]

He's overdue for his "perp walk" sans veil and glove!

[Aquinasfan]

There's some poetic justice in Bubba being upstaged by Bubbles' boy.

[Teacher317]

He seemed like such a nice, normal black teenager, once upon a time (cover of 1977 Jet magazine).

I think the "lackluster" sales of 5,000,000 copies was due more to unimpressive songwriting and production than to a reputation as a freak-child. MJ's more recent music does not have the pop punch of his earlier material.

His reputation as a paedophile is based on speculation. Interesting to see how many on FR have climbed into bed with this Peter Pan wannabe and seen all the action with their own eyes. Unless one wishes to present himself as a witness to MJ's sexual proclivities in a court of law I believe it is wiser to give the benefit of the doubt and keep the mouth shut.

Self-annointed know-it-alls would be happy to run your life, too.

I imagine that freak Phil Specter is sending the even freakier Michael Jackson a bouquet this morning for making him look comparitively normal last night.

“His reputation as a paedophile is based on speculation.”

NO! His reputation as a pedophile is based on the FACT that he paid a family of a child not to tell the world what perverse acts he did to said child.

[tractorman]

Ah America, what a country.

Where else could a poor black boy grow up to be a rich white women?

We were watching this with my wife's grandparents. That was a trip in itself, I think it was kind of a "car wreck fascination" on everyone's part.

Anyway, grandma is a bit forgetful, and she asked some very revealing questions.
Q:"Why is she wearing that?"
Q:"Why does that woman have whiskers?"
Q:"Why is she holding the baby like that?"

A:"That's a man, gramma"
Q, Follow up: "It is?"

LOL

Grandma Rocks!

Wrong.

And leaving aside the fact that he sleeps with little boys in his bed and was shown holding hands with one of them--and it did not look like the normal interaction of parent with child, or caretaker with child, his treatment of his children is bizarre. The scene of him attempting to give a bottle to the one baby was sickening and frightening to behold.

You may care less about the welfare of the children left in his care, but anybody besides Michael Jackson would have been investigated and had his access to children prohibited long ago.

"NO! His reputation as a pedophile is based on the FACT that he paid a family of a child not to tell the world what perverse acts he did to said child."

Maybe he paid to keep snoopy noses out of his life. Do you know for sure? Were you in bed with Michael and the kiddies?

[sinclair]

The use of the word “MAYBE” in your statement indicates that you are speculating. The use of the word “FACT” in my statement indicates I am not.

I am eagerly awaiting your interjection of facts into this discussion.

Be advised, readin' it ain't pretty...

"I am eagerly awaiting your interjection of facts into this discussion."

Excuse me. You are the one who claims to know the facts. Shall we conclude you were there and saw it all? Did you file an affadavit in the case, too?
