A Waste of the President's Time

Was it some PR guy's idea in the White House to actually consider inviting the American Idol finalists? Was it the whole point of the gathering so President Bush can get a harmonica engraved with "American Idol 2006?"

I would have bet that British Prime Minister Tony Blair was glad not to have taken a photo-op with these reality wannabe stars. I wonder if those top high school students, waiting for their photo-op with the President, actually think that having a cool voice is the way to earn the top bucks. Probably not.

Of course it was unclear if Bush had ever seen the show. The White House responded that he was "aware" of it. That's good enough for me. Clearly, a waste of the government's time. Could these wannabe stars please go back to their holes and let the rest of humanity move on?
