Bad but not horrid

I am very happy about the Michael Jackson verdict. Clearly he's not a guy you'd ask to babysit, but that's because he's a screaming freak, not because he's a paedophile.

Other uber-celebs, like Victoria Beckham, are not much less screaming freaks, IMHO, but they escape similar persecution because they have Family Values on their side. For now, anyway. In fact, in the hypothetical world where I am looking for a babysitter, would I rather have MJ or VB? I'd probably see if Michael Portillo was free before calling either of them. Though I'd rather see either of them eating my sandwiches and drinking my pop before I'd let Martin Bashir in the house.
