Bush, The American Idol Wannabe
Is there no depth to which George Jr will not sink? Millions of fans tuned in to see the latest installment of American Idol tonight but instead got one sour note called George Bush. Oh those crazy Republicans!
Yes I'm a self-absorbed, social security hogging, out-of-touch fat old man who hasn't had a political thought in over a decade. But when Bush pre-empts American Idol, I get hoppin' mad! I hope he has an unfortunate wardrobe accident and the FCC punches his bullshit ticket and makes him cough up the millions it would take to actually buy this political advertising.
Better yet, why can't we have "American Political Idol"? In this suspense-filled competition, three judges would pick the candidates who sing and dance their way to the White House... oops, I guess that sounds a little too much like the current political process. Maybe instead of having the public vote, we can just turn the decision over to the judges... oops, sounds a little like the way it worked out last time.
Can we at least make the candidates eat handfuls of live mosquito larvae while dangling upside down from a helicopter? Sure would be better than what we have.

Pete, frankly I'd prefer to watch "W" sing and dance his way around the truth and/or issues, than the wannabes on Idol.
As for the election process, you are right in accessing that it is not perfect, but, it beats the hell out of any other procedure yet devised to appoint a head of state.

what is more important? american idol or the world's problams? if you don't care about the world and just want to sit in front of the t.v your whole life, that's your loss, but talking like that about bush and world's problam's like that (which you should care about)..... that's just stupid. and saying that he should die just because he interupted a stupid show.... that you can see on extra next day./... that's so... stupid that i can't even describe it...
so good luck watching t.v and you really seems to care about the world around you... (i'm beeing sarcastic) and don't forget your chips.. which by the way are very fattning.....

Great Idea ... in fact, this would give Bush a chance to see what REAL combat is like.

You all really need to learn how to spell. My god!
Turn off your televisions and start reading some goddamn books.
By the way vote W OUT in '04.
