Ive never been a regular viewer of American Idol, but whenever I did watch it, Simon Cowell, the ruthlessly acerbic judge, was the one whose comments I waited for, along with millions of other watchers. I mean, nobody but the dimmest of couch potatoes perched on the edge of their chair thinking, Gee, I wonder what Paulas going to say?
Sadly, its just been announced that this season will be Cowells last as a judge on Idol.
Now I know hes really busy producing other shows and creating stars and all that, but I have a job for him that I think would be perfect.
That job? Watching the performances of big bank executives when they testify before Congress and then issuing his summary judgments on the spot, in front of the cameras, on the Hill.
