Michael Jackson vs. W.

Apparently, a number of people have been hanging around outside the Michael Jackson courtroom, making their opinion known about him; a number of them are protesting that he is innocent of all charges.

I'll admit that I'm not clear on how these people would know whether he's guilty or not, but there they are. I'm tempted to think that maybe these people are merely trying to get their faces on TV, but for some of these fans, it's clear that the devotion to Michael is more than skin deep.

My point is, W.'s voters in the last election are a lot like the parents who've been sending their kids over to play with Michael the last couple of years. I'm not saying that Michael's guilty; I really don't know that he is. But I know that I wouldn't trust the future of my family to someone who's been repeatedly accused of child abuse.

Nor would I trust the future of a nation to a man who's been repeatedly accused of human rights abuse.

I'm just saying.
