"American Idol" at White House

Bush to greet Taylor Hicks, the "American Idol"

President Bush will come face to face with a man who got more votes than he did. Bush will play host to “American Idol” Taylor Hicks and the other Top 10 finalists Friday. Hicks won after 63 million votes were cast for him. That’s more than the 59 million Bush got in 2004 — although “American Idol” voters can cast more than one ballot.

Of course voters can cast more than one ballot for president only in Ohio and Florida. (rim shot!)
