New York Congressman Peter King made a video yesterday in which he called Michael Jackson a “pervert” and questioned why society is “glorifying a low-life”.

The self described blue collar conservative is apparently fed up with the coverage of the King of Pop and lambasted the media for reporting extensively on the life and death of Jackson. He believes we should focus on the efforts of teachers, firemen, veterans, police officers and volunteers.

The Republican congressman from the 3rd Congressional District is reported to be considering a run for the Senate in 2010.

View his video below and let us know what you think. Does he have a point or are his comments pointless?
