I'm in the mood to rant - so here goes...

Is there any legitimate reason why a television show - particularly a lame "reality" show - gets regular coverage on the national news? I mean let's face it American Idol is Star Search, which was utter crap, merged with Jerry Springer, which is utter crap. It's a double high pile of steaming crap. And it gets covered on the damned news!

Today's hot Idol News Flash is about some freak who got on the show precisely because he sucks and the judges could humiliate him for people to watch. That's Entertainment. The twist is, this guy gave them some crap back and had to be escorted off the set by security. (Probably just a couple of actors hired to pretend to be security guards.) This is news! WTF?

And the freak who caused all the commotion - he's a real piece of work. Check out this quote:

"I think it's ridiculous that what happens on 'American Idol' overshadows the fact that we have soldiers in Iraq getting killed with no exit plan," he said.

And get this. The freak apparently was a close witness to two suicide attacks in Israel, and doesn't seem to like the war in Iraq. You know the war where we took down the dictator who was paying rewards to the families of suicide bombers likes the ones who tried to kill him.

What a moron.
