You won't see my Aiken back!

Aiken back! "That's a joke, son!"

OK, my world followers, you don't get the Senator Claghorn reference. Before I was even born, there was a radio comedian called "Senator Claghorn," and when he said dopey shit that didn't get a laugh, he'd bellow, "That's a JOKE, son."

And yes, he did once remark about a fictional Senator, "I was glad to see Senator Aiken back! Aiken back! That's a joke, son..."

Part two of this obscure post:

I wonder how many, especially outside America, recall the annoying gay creep Clay Aiken. He almost won "American Idol," and would've been another Barry Manilow at the very last...a fairly open gay singer with a big following among weirdos. Only he lost to hefty black no-talent Reuben Stoddard (or something like that) who went on to nothing.

Backlash against poor Clay losing because he's GAY helped him become the most famous reality-show-contest loser, almost of all time (let's remember Susan Boyle lost).

Aiken with the help of the gay clique that controls so much of show biz and the media, found himself "in demand" as an entertainer. He infamously made it to Broadway in the Monty Python "Spam-a-lot" show.

. Eventually his bad looks, his boring singing, and his one-note (gay) personality worked against him, and people found other gays to admire, like Neil Patrick Harris. And a few dozen more.

SO...Clay Aiken decided to go into politics, which was a stupid thing for a guy from redneck North Carolina to do. Bill Maher on his October 31st broadcast, predicted that Clay Aiken would lose.

Bill was, as he most always is, right.

What made it more embarrassing is that Aiken tried to center himself and appeal to the rubes. He even declared that he had no opinion on gay marriage and that it "didn't concern" North Carolina. As if there are no gays in North Carolina. Like HIM. Watta hypocrite. It was sort of "we all know I'm gay, let's not discuss it." Pretty weird for 2014.

Now that he's no novelty in show biz, and a loser in politics...perhaps we'd seen the last of Clay Aiken as a media whore. Then again, he could marry Bruce Jenner...
