EXCLUSIVE: Joe Jackson Finds Time To Laugh and Joke
Posted on Jul 05, 2009 @ 12:38PM

Michael Jackson's father Joe just finished his Sunday morning breakfast at an IHOP in Encino, CA and while everyone deals with grief differently he appeared to be anything but in mourning..
Sitting with a male friend, Michael's long-estranged dad was "laughing, smiling and joking" the whole time, an eyewitness at the next table told RadarOnline.com. At one point he mentioned dealing with Michael’s life insurance.
There was no sign of grieving on Joe's part, and no mention of the fate of Michael's children, the source said. The eyewitness thought Joe’s behavior was strange in that he was so upbeat just days after his son’s death.
Joe, who turns 80 later this month, had a tortured relationship with Michael, his superstar son who died June 25. For the record, Joe had coffee, eggs and sausage to start his day.

I think it is well established that Joe could give a damm about his kids. Did you see Martin Bashir's documentary? Michael reported that his father never let the kids call him dad or daddy-it was Joe. And he beat them senseless. Enough said.

Joe has probably figured out over the years that harsh discipline is what alienated him from his family, he most likely won't make thae same mistakes. Michael's kids will be just fine with their grandma Kathrine in charge.

Oh, so do you think that they would be better off with their White Mama, Deborah Rowe who sold them for money? Joe disciplined his children, possibly at times maybe he was rough. But look at the results,they made millions.

I think the family including Michael are slightly retarded, possibly inbred. If you look at the fugly Joe Jackson that shows in his face and so does pure evil.

Joe Jackson was laughing and smiling and giving the thumbs up the day Michael died. It's all about him and how that MJ is dead, he's in the spotlight. He has been out and about self promoting his new company on MJ's deathbed. He's scum.

Joe has never loved any of children. Joe loves MONEY and Joe. If his house is in Vegas then Joe is staying with Katherine in Encino. It also means Joe is around Michael's children free to abuse them like he did Michael.
