If the GOP is worried that King's comments will cost them votes, then the GOP is in more trouble than we thought. Anyone who would hold King's comments against him is reaching for something and probably didn't agree with him on anything to start with. I suspect Peter King would lose more votes if the Yankees didn't go to the World Series.
King went on to say that we should be honoring our fallen servicemen and women the way we're honoring Jackson. Anyone care to disagree with that?
Palin is under investigation. And most clinical definitions of "overdose" would fit Jackson (have you seen his purported cocktail of medications, esp relative to his BMI)? People hear "overdose" and they think of a suicide or an intentional act. Not the case. No one is alleging (to my knowledge) that Jackson intended to take his own life. However, if the purported cocktail of drugs is even half accurate, there's enough there that would violate prescribing/dosage norms that would make questions reasonable.
At the end of the day, so what? So Peter King called Jackson a pervert and pedophile. Why should I care what Peter King thinks? If you care, why?
