Father of the Year….

I wish we would hand out Father of the Year awards more often.  I’d like to nominate Joe Jackson, father of the late Michael Jackson and the other Jackson siblings.  I have watched over the last few days as Michael’s death has set in as this man has become the next Al Sharpton – a media whore who drinks the sweet nectar of the camera’s attention and pretends to give one hot damn about Michael, his children, or the rest of his family.  Joe Jackson really has nothing more on his mind than how he plans to spend Michael’s estate before someone else does.

For 45 years, this man has been mooching off of his children like a leech on one’s ankle.  He has done nothing but look really tacky in overblown gawdy outfits with hideous jewelry showing up whenever he could get his ugly mug in front of the camera.  In the African-American community where fathers are such a precious commodity, it is a shame that this lecherous thing is conveying this wannabee father image.  I feel bad for Janet, Jermaine, and the rest of the Jackson clan.  There are times where not having a father around would be more ideal – I feel this is one of those times.  And where’s the mother in all of this?  Joe should have been turned out in the street LONG ago and been forced to get a J-O-B like the rest of us.  But instead, he weaseled his way into his children’s lives forcing them to do his bidding.  Michael tried to pull away and it killed him.

I know I know – they say it was drugs and stress that killed Michael but I bet if we pull back enough layers of the onion we’ll find Slimey Joe pulling the strings.  I saw him quoted at the BET awards last night stating he felt Michael should have been recognized more in life than now in death.  Um, newsflash Joe!  Michael is the “King of Pop”!  What is it Joe, Michael did not give you enough money?  Did he not buy you enough tacky New Jersey housewife clothes to wear?  By the way, your fake teeth look as hideous as you do.  Perhaps you should just gum your food from now on.

So there you have it – I would like to nominate Joe Jackson for Father of the Year.  His good deeds have made the rest of us fathers look pale in comparison.  (OK, so pale have not have been the best choice of words.)

Joe Jackson = Loser.
