'All I Ever Wanted'

For whatever reason (though it truly doesn't matter), singer Kelly Clarkson endorsed GOP candidate Ron Paul on Twitter last night. Clarkson, as you may recall, careened into our musical lives after becoming American Idol's first winner in 2002. "I love Ron Paul. I liked him a lot during the last republican nomination and no one gave him a chance. If he wins the nomination for the Republican party in 2012 he's got my vote. Too bad he probably won't," she tweeted cheerily. My reaction to this breaking news: Um, Clarkson is a Republican? That explains a lot. Scarier still, the political press considers this news.
