Michael Jackson versus Rush Limbaugh

Lets look at some similarities between The King of Pop and America's Anchorman.
While never proven yet, it has been widely reported in the media that both parties abused prescription drugs. It ends there.
Michael Jackson has admitted that there is nothing wrong with sharing your bed with children. While never convicted of any child abuse of molestation charges, he did pay out a reported twenty million dollars of "hush money".
If you have tuned into your TV for the last two weeks, the only thing that happened in the world is that Michael Jackson died. Forget about Farrah, Billy Mays, the war in Afghanistan, the troubling deficit, government health care, and any other problems that you thought existed. The media is hyping Michael Jacksons memorial and no doubt will do the same for his funeral, like JFK just got assassinated, or some world-changing event like UFO's landing on the White House lawn or a cure for cancer was just announced.
Is he really that important?
Rush Limbaugh, on the other hand, was roasted, deep fried, cut up, pureed and everything else by the media. For Michael Jackson, they all but ignore this. If I never see another MJ video again, I will be perfectly happy.
