Your Thoughts Re: Conservative Opposition Blocks Congressional Resolution Honoring Michael Jackson
(Taylor Media Services) Despite a star-studded public memorial service last week, widespread media coverage and effusive praise from Congressional Black Caucus member Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas, there will not be a Congressional resolution honoring entertainment legend Michael Jackson. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced last week she would block plans to bring House Resolution 600 to a vote.
Pelosi, who praised Jackson, suggested she was trying to avoid the embarrassment of having conservative House members criticizing the often controversial or misunderstood “King of Pop.” Meanwhile, a sample of what resolution opponents might have said against Jackson came last week from New York Republican Representative Peter King. He blasted the extensive media coverage of Jackson’s memorial service and labeled the entertainer “a lowlife, pervert and child molester.”
Los Angeles media critic Pearl Jr. responded calling King’s comments “defamatory, slanderous and cruel” noting that Jackson had been acquitted of the only child molestation charges ever level against him.
