A few years ago, Michael Jackson and everyone's favorite celeburebbe Shmuley Boteach sat down with a tape recorder to plan a book. As Boteach explains on his [website](http://www.shmuley.com/articles.php?id=193&ref=jewsrock.org), Michael "desired to serve as a spokesman for the unmet needs of children." You can see how a quote like that might have remained hidden until recently. Now that MJ has been found innocent of molestation, though, the good rabbi is contemplating writing a book based on the 30 hours of taped conversation. Jewschool might have put it best with their headline: "Jackson free...but not from Schmuley."
