Ah, America!

So it took George Bush, who admitted in 2005 he knew nothing about the 1965 Voting Rights Act, four years to meet with the Congressional Black Caucus, yet I heard just this morning that all ten finalists of American Idol have been invited to the White House for a meeting with the Chimp-in-Chief. Considering more Americans voted for American Idol than have ever voted in a presidential election, I guess that shouldn't come as a surprise.

God Bless America! :patriot:

1. And shows how out of step I am

I have never watched the program (which I assume is similar to Major Bowe's Amature Hour of the '50s), and only know about it because Randi Rhodes sometimes alludes to it on one of her promos.

3. Make that two of us

Don't know. Don't care.

2. lol.

I heard this morning on the radio that "Bush is aware of American Idol." Ok, I don't watch much TV at all and I know full well what American Idol is. I would excuse this more if perhaps he were aware of ANYTHING - such as the presence of racism and sexism in this country, or anythying about foreign countries.

EDIT: I don't watch the show either, but it's hard to escape mention of it.

The mind wobbles

5. Have never watched that show but can't you vote more than once

so how can you say more voted?

6. That's the claim

But not really the point of the post, just an ironic aside.

8. Yeah our priorities are pretty

screwed up in this country. And watching our President the last couple of weeks
I think I may need to watch more fantasy tv to escape this reality. Whadda maroon.
