Bigger than Jesus, indeed

I can't believe I'm doing another post about Michael Jackson, but a reader sent this along and I had to share.

Go about 1 minute, 35 seconds into this interview of Jackson family spokesman Ken Sunshine by the Today show's Meredith Veira to see it, but here's what he says:

Talk about a worldwide figure of love. MJ is the biggest figure and person emitting love ... ever!

And what does Meredith Veira say in response? Nothing. This is a woman who last week went out of her way to inexplicably trash the outfit of one of her guests -- and yet she doesn't have the journalistic chops to ask whether, say, Jesus, or Mother Teresa, or Nelson Mandela, or SOMEBODY, might be a worldwide figure of love more than The Gloved One?

So bizarre.
