Judicial Idol

In satire today, Paula Abdul has emerged as a frontrunner for the nomination to the Supreme Court. This is based on her exemplary performance as a judge on American Idol. "In effect she is presiding over the most prominent court room in the United States, the court of public opinion..." says Whitehouse Press Secretary Scott McClellan. No word as yet on whether Abdul's Syrian-Palestinian heritage will emerge as an issue.

If confirmed Ms. Abdul will apparently forswear the traditional black for judicial robes in a nice pastel chartreuse. "Black is Simon's thing," said Ms. Abdul in a press statement today.

Of course I don't think she'll get through the Senate. I mean they'll just bring up that whole Corey Clark scandal from last year. She also dated Arsenio Hall. It was back when he had his talk show, but still. No way she'll get through after that.
