Jackson's success paralleled the rebound of the United States under Ronaldus Magnus.  Michael Jackson's biggest successes, and as it turns out his final successes, real successes took place in the eighties.  That was Billie Jean, Thriller and all this.  I mean he was as weird as he could be but he was profoundly, because of his weirdness, an individual.  He wasn't a group member.  He reached a level of success that may never be equaled.  He flourished under Reagan; he languished under Clinton-Bush; and died under Obama.  Let's hope the parallel does not continue.

Limbaugh later asked what about his statements were not true. Well, we can start with the idea that Michael Jackson was not a group member. It can be argued that the foundation for his entire successful solo career was his membership in the Jackson 5. Secondly, Jackson’s success or failure after the 1980s had nothing to do with the party of the president, and everything to do with a bizarre, scandal riddled, personal life
