Hillary Clinton Reveals Her Position on... Sanjaya

No, you didn't accidentally pull down your bookmark for The Onion. This is for real. The AP reports that during a radio call-in on New Hampshah's WOKQ-FM, presidential contender Sen. Hillary Clinton was asked what the United States can do about another hot-button "voting" issue, American Idol's improbably successful Sanjaya Malakar. "That's the best question I've been asked in a long time," Clinton said to the caller (who, entirely unreliable sources tell me, was male and had a monotone British accent). "You know, people can vote for whomever they want. That's true in my election, and it's true on American Idol." I think what she is saying is that if the hairy kid makes it, blame Florida.
