Did you see American Idol tonight?

The three presidential candidates were on, each to plug the "Idol Gives Back" project of fund-raising for charities. They had probably 30 seconds or so each.

John McCain slammed the Democrats. His were the only overtly partisan comments.
Hillary Clinton included a plug for herself, for all her experience in good causes.
Barack Obama asked people to contribute, saying that a lot can be accomplished when people work together. (Or something like that).

It seemed to me pretty revealing of the character of each.

Honestly, it was embarrassing and distasteful to listen to McCain!

I imagine the video will show up on You Tube, then you can decide for yourself (as they say on Fox News). ;)

None of this surprises me. I think it is so sad that this occasion was politicized. The program, which I did not watch this year, raises awareness and money for those who need it so badly.

Ok. Found some clips on youtube. I don't think it was all that bad. McCain was just trying to be funny and his digs didn't seem at all mean-spirited to me. ...But then I do have really thick skin (and skull too, honestly).

Obama, Hillary, McCain on American Idol
