Larry King has given up his show to the personalities of American Idol. It's being hosted by that Seacrest fellow and the stars and judges are the guests. This is a travesty given what is going on right now in D.C. I sent the powers that be at CNN my opinion of their programming choice:

I honestly CANNOT believe you are giving up your airtime to the personalities of American Idol when the very fabric of our society and country as we know it are hanging in the balance with this immigration reform nightmare. There were SO many important things that could have been discussed with this airtime. Just the fact that more people are attuned to American Idol than what is happening on the floors of the Senate and House is EXACTLY WHY nonsense such as this Senate Bill 2611 gets passed without hardly a hiccup from most Americans!
