It was pretty much the only topic on cable news for the entire weekend. The other day I was in the airport and CNN was on, and it was all-Michael, all-the-time for about an hour, until suddenly they showed Robert Gibbs answering questions in the White House briefing room. At last, some coverage of Iran, the cap-and-trade bill, or something else? Oh no, Gibbs was answering a question about... Michael Jackson.
Also this week, I was shocked to discover that the kid's name really is "Blanket." I just assumed the "South Park" writers made that up.
