Last week's American Idol had a few extra surprises. Each of the remaining Presidential Candidates Clinton, Obama, and McCain gave a little blurb during the show. The shows theme was "giving back", something Idol does annually, a charity fundraiser. While Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama stayed with the script, John McCain tried out his stand-up comedy routine. McCain said; "American Idol is a lot like a presidential primary election. Except for people who live in Michigan and Florida. Their votes actually count." McCain was referring to the two states whose Democratic Primary votes were disallowed due to their changing of the State's primary date in violation of DNC rules. Like any other good comedian, McCain had a good closing joke. He said; "As for me, it's back to work on my new immigrant plan. Watch your back Simon ." The Senator was referring to the shows colorful judge Simon Cowell. Bravo, Senator McCain, you showed a lighter side and your jokes were clever and harmless. The voting counting joke was kind of a zinger to the Dem's, but they created that mess for themselves.
