"But since his death, it's been wall-to-wall "Michael Jackson was a genius" coverage on American TV. I needed the fresh park air because I was feeling nauseated from another day of this endless canonization.

It was downright laughable to watch Al Sharpton, the man who has yet to apologize for perpetuating the Tawana Brawley hoax, going on 'Good Morning America' to say he was advising the Jackson family on how to protect Michael Jackson's legacy.
Excuse me, Rev, but a HUGE part of that legacy is that Michael Jackson had a disturbing fixation on prepubescent boys."
Yes. I'm done speaking ill of the dead...
