MJ on same floor as pediatric unit at hospital

According to published reports this morning, Michael Jackson, who was admitted to a local hospital in Santa Barbara, CA suffering from flu symptoms, is on the same floor as the pediatriac unit.

My "blog-sister" LaShawn got wind of it from the local newscast on WMAL radio in Washington.

I just got off the telephone with WMAL anchor Michelle Basch, who confirms that Jackson is staying on the same floor as the Pediatrics Unit. He’s supposedly there because it’s the most isolated area at Marian Medical Center. Oh, the irony is disgusting!

Much like most of the rest of us, she was incredulous, and had to double-check.

I called Michelle Basch to reconfirm. She said the report is an ABC Exclusive paraphrased this way: “ABC has learned that Michael Jackson is staying on the same floor as the Pediatrics ward…”

For those of you under a rock, Jackson is on trial for child molestation.

You simply can't make this stuff up.
