Rep. Peter King says coverage of singer’s death is ‘too politically correct’
NEW YORK - A New York congressman who is considering a Senate run posted a YouTube video calling Michael Jackson a “pervert” and questioning the exhaustive media coverage of the pop star’s death.
Rep. Peter King, a Long Island Republican, said in the video posted Sunday that society is glorifying a “low-life” while hardworking teachers, police officers, firefighters and veterans don’t get the credit they deserve.
“This guy was a pervert,” King said in the video, shot Sunday by a staff member outside an American Legion hall. “He was a child molester. He was a pedophile. And to be giving this much coverage to him, day in and day out, what does it say about us as a country?”
A jury acquitted Jackson in 2005 of charges that he molested a 13-year-old cancer survivor.
But in a telephone interview Monday, King said that Jackson had “admitted to sleeping with young boys, traveling with young boys. ... That’s the definition of pedophilia.”
In a 2003 do entary, Jackson admitted to letting children sleep with him in his bed at his California home but said it wasn’t sexual.
The congressman called the coverage of Jackson’s death too politically correct.
He said Jackson may have been a good singer and dancer but added: “The bottom line is, would you let your child or grandchild be in the same room with Michael Jackson?”
Ken Sunshine, a spokesman for Jackson’s family, declined to respond to King’s criticism. “We will not dignify this or any other statement with a comment,” he said.
Coverage of the 50-year-old superstar’s death and related matters such as the custody of his three children has dominated headlines and airwaves since Jackson died June 25.
King said he decided to post his video critique after speaking with cons uents over the Fourth of July weekend.
“A number of them were mentioning to me, ‘When’s this stuff with Michael Jackson going to end?”’ King said. “It’s just too much.”
King is considering seeking the GOP nomination for the U.S. Senate seat held by Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, which is up in 2010.
He said he has posted other Internet videos on issues such as cap-and-trade legislation to control pollution, but those videos did not receive as much attention as the Michael Jackson comments have.

oh yeah, whats crappenin mookie? long time no talk...
still down for bloadin chodes in southern oklahoma in august?
That congressman is an idiot and I hope he killed his career with his stupid lies.
I agree with congressman 100%
Michael Jackson died?
That would be crazy!
Would be hilarious I think
Seriously though, if you had told me that MJ would have garnered this much attentin when he died I would have laughed in your face (not you personally, im saying anyone).
I mena you would htink the president had been killed.
I always knew he would get this much attention. I always knew he was the most famous person in the world. He was a great man.
Respect the legacy of the dead man because of what he did with his music. Im not defending MJ but he was acquitted so the politician should have just stuck with politics and out of the entertainment scene.
He is absolutely right, he is saying what i said all the time on this forum. Props ! he has the guts to speak it out.
Why arent people all so kind and forgiving to all pedophiles? And not just because this pedo is MJ?

Yeah look at all the people honoring and remembering his personal life, instead of his brilliant musical talent.
Just like how we honor Thomas Jefferson's slave-keeping and Bill Clinton's infidelity.
Re s.
there's no proof, that's why
Yeah, shows real guts to talk about someone behind their back. What a wuss of a congressman. Probably just another one of those who talk loud until they get busted themselves. Hypocrite. He has no proof what so ever.
not that there's anything wrong with that.
C'mon...the man packed more kids than a Cabbage Patch factory.
And since when is pediatric proctology a crime?
Mike Taylor and this congressman need to get together for lunch at Jackle's place.
Whether he was guilty or not of being a pedophile, I still think the media is blowing this out of proportion, there is still waty too much coverage.
Channels like E! are another story, but CNN, Fox, MSNBC, etc. should be reporting on politics and other news. On top of that you are hardly hearing a word about Farrah, or Ed McMahon.
thats my big beef too. even the local news. officer shot and killed and buried comes on behind update on mj. wtf??
economic meltdown, worst governemtn in history etc etc and mj is dominating the news.
You are correct sir!
