Via Sister Toldjah, Newsday reported, “Let’s knock out the psychobabble,” King said in the video, which was posted by his campaign. “He was a pervert, 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? I just [...]

"Let's knock out the psychobabble. This guy was a pervert, 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? I just think we're too politically correct. No one wants to stand up and say, 'We don't need Michael Jackson.' You know, he died, he had some talent, but fine. There are people dying every day,...

--One King to another: New York congressman Peter King released a YouTube video in which he calls Michael Jackson a "pervert" and a "low life." Released on the Fourth of July, King begins by praising "cops, firefighters and teachers," but quickly moves to his less-than-remorseful point: "Let's knock out the psychobabble, this guy was a pervert, was a child molester, he was a pedophile." King adds,...

Congressman Pete King from New York takes time out of his 4th of July weekend to bash Michael Jackson. Granted the media coverage has been out of control, but did King really have to go out of his way to lash out at Jackson on charges that were never proven? What a piece of work. If you [...]

Back in October 2006, I compiled a list of what I considered to be the 25 most insane lawmakers on Capitol Hill. A lot has changed since then and 14 of the 25 are no longer in Congress (more often than not because they were tossed out by voters). Since, as they say, only the names and faces change, I think it’s time for a fresh appraisal of the 21 legislators most worthy of four point restraints and...

I am appalled at recent comments made by Congressman Pete King (R-NY), who, according to TMZ, said "we should be honoring the men and women of the Armed Forces -- and not a "pedophile" and "child molester" like Michael Jackson . Wait, am I missing something? Wasn't Michael Jackson acquitted of these charges? What a moron. He called Michael Jackson a "low-life" as well as a "pervert." He said that the...

NY Republican Peter King recalls his memories of the King Of Pop, the same way you recall your memories of a root canal. Look, I plan to not watch TV at all tomorrow due to the wall-to-wall Village tearjerker coverage of MJ's memorial, but at least I'm not an elected official arguably committing slander of a dead guy on national TV. Stay classy, Republicans!

Long Island congressman Pete King is very upset. So upset in fact that he too has decided to take his wrath to the Internets and broadcast his very important message on the YouTube for all the world to see. But what has Pete so hot around the collar? Michael Jackson, that's what! What Congressman King doesn't understand is why the media is falling all over itself to honor a freak like Michael Jackson...

Reading the news stories about my Congressman Pete King’s “rant” pissing all over Michael Jackson’s dead body – saying “there’s nothing good about this guy” and calling him a “lowlife,” a “pervert”, a “pedophile,” a “child molestor” – I expected to be incensed when I saw the video. It’s not that I believe Jackson wasn’t any of these things – it’s just that in the absence of any convictions and with...
