We are not going to do "Jacko" here, but: an "OJ" defense? I don't think so. Wacko Jacko Is Blacko? "Black show business stars Friday rallied around pop icon Michael Jackson following his stunning arrest on child sex charges," reports Agence France-Presse: The star's mother, Catherine Jackson, told the online version of Germany's Bunte magazine Friday that there were two interpretations of the law in the United States--"one for whites and one for blacks." . . . US civil rights leader Reverend Jesse Jackson called for restraint, saying the entertainer deserved a trial in court, not in the media, and expressed "grave concerns" over prosecutors' handling of the case. . . . Singer Rick James, a friend of Jackson since their Motown recording days, was blunt about what he saw as prosecutor Tom Sneddon's motives in pursuing Jackson on child abuse charges for the second time in 10 years. "He's black, rich and famous, and they have nothing better to do," he said of the charges Sneddon filed against Jackson. "As soon as you get famous and black, they go after you," he told CNN. Huh? Exactly when did Jacko get blacko? opinionjournal.com
