Harriet Miers next American Idol Judge

In a shocking development Harriet Miers has ended her quest for Supreme Court judge in hopes of becoming the fourth American Idol judge.

Claiming the ability to larger impact on the American Idol panel, Miers was quoted as saying, "I'd rather be a big fish in a little pond, than a little fish in a big pond. Why be one of nine, when I can be one of four."

"This is believed to be the first case of someone passing up a position on a federal bench for a reality show judge, granted I don't think it would have made a difference with Clay Aiken," said a shcoked judiciary scholar, Professor James Stemson, Dean of the Albany Law School.

While it is not clear which annoying habit Ms. Miers will put on public display come the next season given Simon's breast shirts, Paula's clap and Randy's use of the word "Dog" are all copyrighted. There is hope she will allow Simon to have at least one intelligent conversation with someone on the panel during the season.
