The presidential contenders made taped appearances on American Idol Thursday night as part of the show’s charity appeal (“Idol Gives Back”). Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton made almost identical apolitical (slightly boring) pitches to help people around the corner and around the globe. But John McCain joked that Idol is a lot like a presidential primary “except for people who live in Michigan and Florida–their votes actually count.” Take that, Obama.
Thursday must have been “be nice to Hillary day” in GOP circles.
