That's what the Perfesser did not post, and quite frankly should have. Cowell's important role in <i>Idol</i> is to be the ageless totem of <i>standards</i> against which dreck cannot pass.<br /><br />Sadly, you progressives got dreck past the American people in 2008, and look where we are now. You claim that Palin is an affront to what little standards you have because, quite frankly, the only standards you have are those which gain you political power.<br /><br />Palin threatens that, and so you go on to make shit up about her exploiting her children or faking her pregancy or some such nonsense. In reality? Progressive liberalism is a monumental social failure, and has been roundly rejected by the electorate. It's time is coming to an end. <br /><br />Deal with that. Progressives, your God has failed, becuase your God was a lie in the first place.section9https://www.blogger.com/profile/08956773307014115891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-40109721934258673562010-11-18T21:30:37.808-06:002010-11-18T21:30:37.808-06:00I'm everywhere, c3.

I'm sure Governor Half-Term would have a continued with such a promising, unbroken career in politics if it weren't for the holding pattern that Channel Redstate keeps her in until 2012.

So Palin trots her daughter out on DWTS to accomplish the same. <br /><br />Everyone in her life is just a prop - no meaning or talent to what they do, all that matters is being important and recognized. The Republicans have become nothing more than a bunch of robots - no wonder they flitter at the thought of being led by nothing more than a symbolic prop.

It helped them, sometimes even ended up profoundly changing their lives and made their incomes significantly increase.<br /><br />Not just the winners, but gifted but flawed young performers that have gone on not just as singer-entertainers, but on stage, TV, even...studying law and landing a good job.<br /><br />Clay Aiken, Jason Castro, Brooke White, Melinda Doolittle, Allison Iraheta, Jennifer Hudson, Katherine McPhee, Daughtry. All non-winners, all significantly boosted by Idol.<br /><br />This past season, you had 6 talented but young and flawed performers, who didn't "win" - but have increased their odds of sucessful careers enormously. Tim Urban, flawed and not so talented but in a perfect niche Andrew Garcia, Katie Stevens - and 3 truly gifted singers - Aaron Kelly, multitalented Siobhan Magnus, and polished Crystal Bowersox.<br /><br />All 6 are far better off for their Idol time. <br /><br />Palin should stick to talking about something she knows about - but I recognize that might risk some dead air time on her Fox commentor job, cut much out of her own reality show, and sharply reduce her tweet fest for Goddess Palin worshippers out ther.Cedarfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00602418702398818596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-59041683686694346462010-11-18T16:59:03.798-06:002010-11-18T16:59:03.798-06:00I think that most of those crappy singers that go ...I think that most of those crappy singers that go on American Idol know they can not sing...and I am sure all sorts of people have told them that.

Gold stars for everyone. Soccer trophies for just showing up. There are no losers because nobody's allowed to win. Kids come away from the system with an inflated sense of self-importance because no one's ever told them that, no, actually, they won't all become astronauts.
