A McGee by any Other Name

Michael McGee, Jr. is not the man he claims to be.

He's really Michael Jackson.

Read the latest in the McGee saga.

He filed a petition to change his name to McGee. When questioned by a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter about it, he started talking tough. He didn't say, "If you drive by my house, I'm going to kill your ass." Not that tough.

However, McGee, I mean Jackson, did threaten legal action.


Reached on his cell phone Wednesday evening, McGee said in a brief conversation that he didn't want to discuss the name-change petition but would do so after "my court date" had happened.

"It's really not as big a deal as you think it is," McGee told a reporter.

The alderman then called the reporter back and declined to explain anything about being Michael Jackson. He threatened to sue the Journal Sentinel if it printed this story because, he said, it was a matter of "speculation" as to whether he had actually filed the petition. He said he has "a lot of court dates" and denied that he had ever confirmed he filed the petition. He called into question whether he could "factually" be tied to anything with the name Michael Jackson on it, including the petition filed Wednesday.

"You're crossing the line as far as using unfactual information," McGee said of the petition's newsworthiness.

He was asked what name is on his birth certificate.

"I don't have a birth certificate," McGee said.

No birth certificate?

What a weird attempt to avoid answering a question!

McGee/Jackson doesn't think very well on his feet.

Question:

Without a birth certificate, HOW THE HELL DID HE GET MARRIED??

Good question. :)

And how did he get a driver's license?

The reporter should have asked what name is on his social security card.

Would he say he doesn't have one?

Illegal immigrants have more documentation than McGee/Jackson.
