RANT: in another brilliant move by President Bush, he has decided to hire Clay Aiken to head up the President's Committee on People with Intellectual Disabilities. Hmmm. Too many jokes here to think straight. Apparently Clay was chosen because in his pre-Idol days he was a counselor at a YMCA. I think it was great that he was a counselor and this is obviously a chance to do some good, but is Clay Aiken, American Idol's second season runner-up really qualified to head up a President's Committee? So when is Bush going to hire Paula Abdul to head up logistics in Iraq? She did coreography once. Or Simon to design all the new military uniforms. He has a crewcut.

it's obvious you know nothing of Clay's background, his education and his involvement in teaching children with spcial needs, his foundation etc. find out before you judge.
Of course I don't know anything about Clay Aiken. Do you think I am a 12 year old girl? Pssshtah, you take things way too seriously anyways. I think you should also be offended that Ruben wasn't offered ANY position by Bush. Or Laura. Or Cheney. Or Rumsfield.
Well, if you are a 12 year old girl, it's really creepy that your parents let you get married.
Anyhoo.
Committees like that are merely political puffery. I don't think Aiken is more unqualified than any other political appointee to a softball assignment. If Kinky Freidman could be the next governor of the great state of Texas, and if Shirley Temple can be an ambassador to two separate countries...
Of course, I think the administration is really missing out by not appointing Tiger Woods to something.
