The not guilty verdict will make the story go away faster

[bluestateguy]

This story will now pass from the headlines far faster than it would have had Jackson been convicted. Had he been convicted, the media soap opera would then continue on with the sentencing hearing, the endless appeals, Michael reports to prison, what will Michael's prison cell look like? The not guilty verdict should be celebrated by all people who just want this story to disappear.

1. I agree

Now we can go back to real news like the Conyer's forum on Thursday.

2. That's true.

Well spoken.

3. Exactly. This was a big loss for Bush.

4. there will be a slight pause

before the civil trial, the next round of accusations, etc.

Of course, we always have other celebrities or rich, good-looking white women getting in trouble to look forward to.

5. God I hope so

The media coverage of this is bullshit. I hope the jury reached to correct verdict, but I don't know enough about it to have an opinion. Lets see if we can get back to stuff like seeing if we can get bush impeached, or tried for war crimes.
