If only there wasn't an age requirement for American Idol-Ladies & Gentlemen....Snoop Rovey Rove

What do you think American Idol's Sanjaya Malakar and Bush strategist, Karl Rove have in common? Actually they may have three things in common. First, as the above video demostrates, questionable musical talent. Second, the ability to promote mediocrity in a public forum. And lastly, exhibiting a tenacious spirit with both low approval ratings and public support, simultaneously. Although I am a conservative, I am not an apologist for a substandard performance-whether it's in the field of entertainment or government. In some respects, one should be perturbed with the nation's acceptance of mediocrity. Many folks may be mad at young Malakar for corrupting the Idol process, however the show gives the public what it asks for-style over substance. In recent years our government (and entertainment) prefers image over dealing with substantive issues. One must be honest, a Bob Dylan or James Brown would not fair well on American Idol, given today's standards and conversely having a dancing presidential advisor(and a POTUS who would be his Flavor Flav) as terrorism, weekly scandals, a downsizing economy and a WAR loom in the background is unconscionable. Perhaps I should lighten up, as the above clip is from a recent D.C. banquet but I just want to know one thing.....will the real conservatives please stand up? Please stand up.
