pianos and politicians.

Ohhh good God I found a gem. I was reading stories on MSN today and, as always, was reading only the ones with the most intellectually stimulating titles like: "Woman fumbles $9,000 engagement ring awry" (I actually felt sick reading it. Poor guy.), "How to Build Muscle Really Fast," "Cats and schizophrenia," and "'Jersey' Star 'Snooki' Denied Trademark" (Toooo baaaaddddd Snooks.). As I was saying: intellectual. Amidst this crap, I found an article on talented celebrities... like it's such a big surprise that Condolezza Rice knows how to play the piano. Really? Come on. Among these celebs were... wait for it... the Singing Senators. Oh snazz. I die. I couldn't help myself, so I dove into some research on these schmucks and slap my ass and call me Charlie, one of the Singers is the one and only: Larry Craig.

For those of you unfamilar with Lar-Bear, these clues might ring a bell: Idaho. Men's bathroom. Tomfoolery...

Clearly it comes as no surprise that this douche was a part of a barbershop quartet. Before any barbershoppers get their foam hats all crumpled, let me interject the fact that I sang with show choirs in both high school and college AND thought it was cool, so I'm not judging... I'm merely stating a fact of showbiz, or whatever you classify cheesy singing groups as. But let me just say this. Combining a political figure with music is never a good idea. Leave politics in Washington and music, well, everywhere else. And why? Because no one really enjoyed listening to these guys, let alone having to look at them. Who really calls a group of middle-aged politicians with bad haircuts, bad make-up and bad vibratos "entertainment"? Maybe Janet Reno would. Or who knows... maybe on a good day Nancy P gets a little goosey about it.

I'm having a hard time saying this, but I'm almost thankful for L-bird's little bathroom incident because now the world has one less political barbershop group. So please, MSN, let's watch our words a little more closely. When you say "talented celebrities," you're better off just sticking to the basics: Lady Gaga (and that little kid who got a record deal after singing Paparazzi), Dave-John-Jack, THE Scarlet & Cream Singers and of course, John Stamos.
