I just listened to a California Democratic lawmaker (sorry, didn't get his name) go on, and on and on about how outrageous it is that the city of LA should have to pick up the tab for the Michael Jackson memorial held today at the Staples Center. Given the fact that CA, and LA are broken and facing potential bankruptcy, I can understand the argument that taxpayers should not be on the hook for the estimated 3-5 million dollars.
My problem with this lawmaker though, was his grandstanding. The verbal contempt he showed for the promoter (AEG), the Staples Center, even MJ's family.
Lest he forget the millions upon millions upon millions that MJ brought the city over his extraordinary career, and the millions of dollars that the state and city will reap in the future via tourism, etc.
A fucking arrogant, short-sighted, pompous, ungrateful bag of shit that politician is. The least he could have done is raise his pathetic stink tomorrow, after MJ was laid to rest.
