You're the President of the United States and the producers of American Idol don't want you on their show!
The show's producers were so disappointed with President Bush's efforts to combat the very poverty that the show was trying to relieve that they were embarrassed to have him on their TV show.
But Nigel said that Idol relented under pressure from the Pres's people, and allowed him to speak during the star-studded broadcast.
"The President is always saying 'I want to be on
," said the Brit.
"We didn't ask the President this year to say anything because we are all a bit embarrassed about him, and the office insisted that, because the candidates were on it, the President would like to come on and say 'thank you.'"

didn't I also read that when Bush appeared on "deal or no deal" it was the lowest rated episode ever?
