Bail out Hillary Clinton, score tix to the 'American Idol' finale!

Categories: American Idol, Politics as Entertainment

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has a lot going on these days, but she may have found a novel way to solve one of her lingering issues. Hint: It involves Simon Cowell. The problem? Clinton still owes a lot of money from her marathon primary campaign against Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination. So Clinton ally and political commentator James Carville sent out a fundraising letter offering people who contribute to Clinton’s cause a chance to win, among other prizes, two tickets to the American Idol finale. How’s that for a political play? It got us thinking: What else could Clinton offer you to get you to pay down her debt? A trip to the Oscar ceremony? A walk-on role in the next Batman movie? Or…how about a lunch date with Jon Hamm?!

I’d pay $50 to that debt if it got me an afternoon tea session with Madeline Albright. She seems like she’d be a lot of fun to chat with over tea and crumpets for some reason.
I’d pay double that amount for a “how do I look” fashion session with Michelle Obama.
Finally, I’d pay $200 for the debt relief effort if it got me a chance to have some beers with Bill Clinton at a Hooters restaurant (or a strip club…same difference). It’d be worth it to see Slick Willy ogle the ladies.
