Lubin' it Up

Gee, I wonder what he wanted this for?

SANTA MARIA, Calif. — The judge in Michael Jackson's molestation case has refused to allow the prosecution to present an account in which a man alleged he was asked to bring Vaseline to Jackson's bedroom while the pop star was with a boy.

The boy named in the incident received a multimillion-dollar settlement from Jackson in 1994 and subsequently declined to cooperate in a criminal investigation. No charges were filed in that case.

The man who told the account, Kassim Abdool, used to work for Michael Jackson. He was one of several workers who lost a wrongful termination lawsuit to Jackson in 1997 and was ordered to pay damages to the singer in a countersuit.

Michael Jackson asked an assistant to bring him Vaseline while he was with a boy? You've got to be kidding me. I hope they nail that guy to the wall and let the other inmates have a go at him.
