American Idol vs. President nonsense

This is just pure nonsense. All these articles on the internet and on the news saying that Americans think American Idol is more important than the Presidency. Articles like this and this, spin the truth about the numbers. They all claim that 63.5 million votes for American Idol is more than the Presidency. But they fail to mention two very important aspects of the voting.

1. People can vote more than once for American Idol. Do you really think that 13 year old girl only voted once for Taylor? Or that 13 year old boy only once for Kat? Get real. There are hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of people that voted more than once. That brings that 63.5 million number down really fast.
2. The most votes in a Presidential general election was 62 million...for one of the candidates! Yep, you guessed it, George W in 2004. But what about all those other votes for the other candidate, ol' whats-his-name? Do those votes count? Didn't those people care enough to go vote too? Can't we count them when we're comparing Presidential votes to AI votes?

It's the same damn liberal media spinning the facts to scare Americans into thinking our country is going down the toilet, when in fact they have created the toilet to begin with.
