Gov. Sarah Palin had something to do with the death of pop star Michael Jackson. That's an interesting theory proclaims radio host and Jackson eulogizer opportunist Rev. Al Sharpton.
Our friend Brian Maloney at Radio Equalizer has the story. Embedded at right is the audio of the program in question. I've pasted Maloney's transcript below:
FEMALE CALLER (31:50): He (Michael Jackson) is truly the soundtrack of my life. I also have a theory about Sarah Palin as well and I'm going to put it out there on radio, hopefully someone can investigate.
But, I think maybe she did something to Michael Jackson. Maybe there's a scandal there. Maybe she's stepping down because something's about to come out. I don't know, but I'm gonna just put it out there on your show so we'll see.
SHARPTON: All right, thank you for your call, Ashley. That's interesting. I'll put it out, we'll see. I don't know.

There are some incidents
July 8, 2009 - 15:40 ET by Chris NormanThere are some incidents and people, so completely insane, that to comment on them diminishes their insanity. This is one of them.

What's even more outrageous
July 8, 2009 - 17:10 ET by motherbeltWhat's even more outrageous is that Sharpton didn't question her sanity!
I listened to the audio, expecting to here his voice dripping with sarcasm, or at least a bit of humorous skepticism, but no....he sounds serious as a heart attack!

July 8, 2009 - 15:48 ET by Cool ArrowSomething so outlandish as "Sarah Palin killed Michael Jackson"?
And Al Sharpton doesn't know if there's any truth to it?
Nobody "manipsinates" Sharpton
July 8, 2009 - 15:48 ET by SickofLibsNow if this woman had stated a theory that Jacko's body was found in a hefty bag, and with racial epithets scrawled in crap, Sharpton could really pick that up and run with it.
Almost forgot - and throw in that he was also raped by an officer of the court, too.

July 8, 2009 - 15:56 ET by urbuggenmeWell I guess you have to blame Waco Jaco's death on Sarah Palin, (she was out fishing for Sockeye salmon at the time) since you ca't blame it on G. W. Bush anymore... I have been waiting for over a week now for someone to blame it on Bush... but this is better!
How wacked out this person must be! They are listening to Al Sharpton's radio show to start with
This is
July 8, 2009 - 15:59 ET by bigtimerThis is hilarious...insantity for all to hear!

July 8, 2009 - 16:25 ET by rick007Maby that woman has a point. Maby she pulled his wig and nose off and that made him have a hear attack?
Maby he died from druge use. Just to put that out there.
How about it AL?????
Maby he finaly noticed that he wasn't white after all.
P.S. This just shows the mentality of the Left. Goverment schooling at its best.
Well, you can't blame Palin
July 8, 2009 - 16:20 ET by mattmWell, you can't blame Palin for this, all Ashley would have had to do would have been to rub two crystals together, toss out a protection spell and chant "i'll be there, i'll be there, i'll be there" while sitting cross-legged on a pentagram.
If she failed to do this, she has only herself to blame.

Palin will become the new scapegoat
July 8, 2009 - 17:04 ET by DJEddleLike President Bush, Sarah Palin will be blamed for anything that goes wrong - no matter how outlandish the alleged connection may be.
The Stimulus doesn't work? Palin's fault.
Healthcare "reform" is defeated? Palin's fault.
"Cap-and-trade" dies in the Senate? Palin's fault.
Global warming that has now reversed into catastrophic cooling? Palin's fault.
Al "Race Pimp" Sharpton gets sued for slander and defamation? Palin's fault.
Obama is imprisoned for usurping the presidency? Palin's fault.
Michael Jackson dies from a deadly dose of non-prescribed drugs? Palin's fault.
We better get used to it. The Democrats will need to tie a face to their fearmongering rhetoric. It makes things much more clearer now...they turned Palin into that figure last fall as Bush was on his way out. It may not be that they despise her personally - they just needed a Republican face for their daily attacks and condemnations. And since she positively roused the Democrat opposition, she is the natural heir to that throne.

July 8, 2009 - 21:55 ET by newuglyamericanWhat? Is that whole cult on drugs? At least the Right radio folks will correct ding dong callers, but Sharpton (he doesn't fit the Biblical "Reverend") just gives his "we'll put it out there..." Maybe Palin should be investigated in the McNair death. How about seeing if she bribed the African tribe leaders hundreds of years ago to sell off their own people? Is she the cause of the 70% black children born out of wedlock? If it wasn't so series, I'd rofl.

Palin? Sanford?
July 9, 2009 - 12:11 ET by MPCPianoThis theory put out on Sharpton's radio show and left on the table by Al is beyond crazy.
I think it is Mark Sanford who could be involed in MJ's death. I mean, do we know he was really in Argentina? He lied about his Appalachain Trail hike! He could have been in Los Angeles for all we know. I’ll put it out, we’ll see. I don’t know.
Seriously, I hope this bit of Sharpton insanity is kept front and center as to the credibility of those on the left who obsess on Sarah Palin, as well as Sharpton's.
About Sharpton
July 9, 2009 - 21:27 ET by Lord ErondI grew up in Long Island, NY. My father used to work in Brooklyn for Pepsi Cola. Supposedly my father was being given an 'award' for encouraging 'diversity' amongst his plant's workforce and helping Pepsi's standing with the black community. When my father was told about this, he had no idea what the hell they were talking about. His bosses told him there was some award ceremony for him to go to.
As it turned out, when my father showed up at this 'event' the folks at the hotel had no knowledge of any such thing. As it turned out, Sharpton had been soliciting Pepsi for 'donations' and this was how essentially Pepsicola disguised this hush money paid to Sharpton so he wouldn't bring his rabble rousers in calling Pepsi a racist company etc etc etc.
Then of course you have the Tawana Brawley garbage.
Sharpton is trash. He's a political extortionist and one should NEVER forget it.
