papay.y. she gets thee meded attentntio she can raise money. ahah, atat'shat it's all about. and base conservatives absolutely love e th lady. now, i think t t republican rtrt wins on t tss deal. nono o o o there's raising any money of any significance right now for the cseseatives. isis ivintage sarah palin. unpredictable. borderline unprofessional. but the key h her isis, she i i definitely notot your quintessentialoolician. it falls rightht i in linene wi radicalslsinin mopinion, who are out therer doing these tea parties s wh are so disgruntlele who rereprenen you know,he disenfranchisesed a ameca who just think that e eveththg is going to fa under oba.a. i i lo t thi story. t t st of all, i really loo this soundnd c.. he it s.s. >> as i thought about ththis anannoceceme that i wouldn'tunun forre-electctn,n, a whhat t tt mes s foalaska, i thought ouout,well, how mucuch fun some governors have as lalameucucks maybybtrtrav ra round t the

eparing for tens of thousands michael jackson fans to descend on the city for tomorrow's memorial serce. over 6 milli peole registered to win th coveted fr tickets. only 8,750 actually won the drawing. police are warning everybody who doesn't have a ticket to stay away. meanwhile,ity officials are fang the hard reality of paying for all o this. ports of the event that it's going tooslos angeles .5 million. joining us nowive from the jackson compound of alaska, courtney hazelt of msn.com's "the scoop." how is the city going toay for is? is this a big dealith the residentin los angeles?

>> it's an enormous ill to the residents o here. thers a huge concern about the city having this out of pket expense. i spoke with jan per on the phone and she said, let's be certn about one thing, be very clear, the ci ofos angeles ll not pay for thi out of pocket is what jan perry's saying. she's the aing mayornd current councilwoman. there's a bill coming, someone's got to pay for it. peopleith the naa areaying th might reach out to membershipnd have a larger campaigno t people to donate, saying,hey, couldn't make it to t jacon memoal, please csider helping out the city of los anles. and th jackson famil might be asked to conibute in some way as well. so that's all going to pa o. terally waiting for a phone call from a meeting taking place at the lapdto see whe they stand. they were suppos to have a slightly more updat estimate. justikeverything in this ory that changes mite to minute, so do the cops.

>> not everybody ia michael jackson n. it was sprisinto a lot of peop that an electedfficial the united states congress, peter king, came out and made this comment aboutichael jackson. here it is. >> this guy i a pervert. he's a child molester. he's a pedophile. and to be giving this mu coverage tthis day in and day out, what es it saybout us? may have been a good singer, did some dancing. bott line is, would u let your child or grand chd be in the same room with michael jason? >> w's thatsound bite beg received out the? there's a t of peoplehat loved michael jason. but then again, you know, congressman king musteel pretty compelledbout his feel tos go on came and say it so ciously the way he did. what's is reonse to that? >> cgressman king is certainly entitled t his own opinionu like evebody here is. however, i would point out to congressman ng for better or rse, michael jackson w acquitted. so to call him those things, you

can't that because in a court of law hs not tose things. the reverend alharpton made comments address toheedia yestery ring his rmon at thfirst a& church where he said the media was crting a bied picture. spki basically exactly to what congressman kingas ying. and it's not the time for that right now. beespectful to the famil respectful to the artist. two centss we've been fairly even handed in the dia. i don't ink anybody's ignore 2003 to 2005hen michael jackson was in cot facing some of tse charges. do think, howeve right now it's appropriato ve him his due, which is he's populture icon the like of wch i don't think any of us will see again in our lifetime. for the cialarriers he crossed, his impact o music, his impact on vertising even. he did more than any single artist. for congreman king to say that i think it'short sighted. >> courtney, thanksor your time tonight. judge ruled today michael jackson's ng-time attorney and family friend suld ta

temporary control of the po singer's estate. for more on the legal issues invoing jackson's wil his estate, and children, lt's go to legal analyst and former prosecutor karen de soto. great to have you with u tonit. tell bus this second will. how much of issue is tt ght now, does it hold up? >> it does hold up, in fact. you have to rememr that miael jackson is a coany. and unlike you or me, ed, this company is going to go on in depth. this igoing to be -- generate miions and millions of dollars. it makes senseat micha put in his will that his long time friend and attorney, mr. bianca, and so mr. mcclainto is e cord industry. viously you want professionals. i mean, real, do you want your mom to run yo company if you pass away? obviously you nt profesals. so all of is makesense. mean, i know that katherine jackson tried to stopthe court from going ahead andaying they shouldt be the cexecuts, it should be me

however, those reiswishes. >> what's your take on the doctor? could there be so kind of charges coming? as thisnvestigation moves forwrd? >> absolutely in fact, ed, thi so like the anna nicole smith case. where the doctors were charged with unlawful prescribing, prescribinto an addict. conspira tfurnish. these are all feonies. unfortunately, the probl is going tobe is that not oly are ose arges,hosefelonies, but alsohat about ioluntary manslaughter? i mean, that is a very dinite possibily. you know, the stdard is not very high for invuntary manslaug. just like vehicular micide. if h gave thehot like they'r saying, any type of shot or escribed medicine,nd he might have died, andhe in fact did, that'sinvoluntary manslaughter. ve low standard. i think thathis poor doctor got himsf in a litt bit too muchotater here, ed. looks likehe may be taking a liility. not just him but the other doctors. because remember,e was living with him for me than a month.

i don't know about you but my doctor, after five minutes, presibed me at least two o ree antibiotics. this is a person is living with him for two weeks. the liability is going to be pretty strong there. >> karende soto,hanks for being re, good to see you. up next on "the ed show," "psycho talk." senator chuck grassley needs to wo on his bedde manner. you won't believe at he said to a constituent abou health ca at a town hall meeting. le a e flattered when regenerist be
