Sometimes you wish the figurative ‘foot in mouth’ expression was literal. If his foot were in his mouth maybe Congressman Peter King wouldn’t have committed such an embarrassing act of slander against the late Michael Jackson.
King said Jackson engaged in “deviant” behavior, called him a “pervert” and “child molester”. He apparently has no respect for the rule of law or the democratic legal process in this country.
One can ask why King is being so vocal about this now. Often times in politics the loudest mouths are hiding situations of their own. Just ask John Ensign and Mark Sanford about that.
