New York City Council Members Walk Out On Michael Jackson Moment Of Silence

by Choire posted @4:55 PM

"The man was probably a serial pedophile, may have well died of a drug overdose… [he] has multiple sealed settlements with the families of young boys. What exactly is it that we're exalting?" said Councilman Lew Fidler.

    His awesome brand of disco-pop, dumbshit!

    No Fidler/Fiddler joke? You're getting lazy.

  3. giovanni [#224]

    Who names his child Lew Fidler?

    Can't we just all celebrate that Michael is in a place with no more pain where he can sing and dance and finger the angels?

    Who gets that awesome porn collection he had for arousing the boys?

    I walked out on James Cameron's moment of silence for the victims on the Titanic, because I'm pretty sure one of them maybe did drugs too.

    Walk, don't run; I'm on drugs now.

    Thank the Lord I live in a place where the local politicians wouldn't even bother with this kind of base publicity stunt moment of silence. Because he was black.

    If you really want to take issue with a moment of silence, you don't walk out in a huff and stand in the foyer, you get loud, am I not right?

    The three Republicans and two Democrats could have got their point across just as well, and without being "quitters", by remaining seated and singing "Eat It" by Weird Al, in bipartisan unison with Weird Al faces.

    Or is there something I'm just not seeing here?

    When the moment requires it, anybody can rise to the occasion and come up with the lyrics to "Eat It" by Weird Al. Also, don't NY councilmen have staff who google lyrics for them when lyrics are needed?
