Macaulay Culkin Defends Michael Jackson

The “Home Alone” has-been has taken the stand to say that Michael Jackson never laid a glove on him all those nights he slept in the King of Pedo-Pop’s bed. That’s nice, and it may help Jackson escape a guilty verdict, but it makes all the sense in the world that MJ wouldn’t molest the most famous boy in his bedroom. A lecherous man who hungers for any woman near him can restrain himself from, say, grabbing at the chest of a female police officer who writes him a ticket, or his boss’s wife. If Jackson is a molester, he’s clearly a very clever one who seems to zero in on kids whose families and destinies he can control either financially or through legal threats. Culkin wouldn’t have fit in that category. Jackson may have wanted to look, but knew perfectly well he couldn’t touch.
