Simon Cowell, what a dude

Courtesy of msnbc.com, I have put some of the Simon's comments below: Obviously, now that he has left England (where he was probably a less than average Joe) and made it big, he no longer walks in alleys.

1) That would appeal to anyone over the age of 90 who was hard of hearing.

2) If you hear a scream from a hotel room in Las Vegas, that’s where Barry Manilow is watching this show."
To Bobby, after he sang Manilow's "Copacabana

3) I thought it was a really pimpy third-rate copy of Earth Wind and Fire."
To Sway, Feb. 22

4)It was forgettable and you sang it like somebody taking an elocution lesson."
To Heather, Feb. 21

5)It was like being at some horrible Sunday lunch and a child getting up to sing out of tune. For me it was a complete and utter mess.”
To Stevie, Feb. 21

6)"What's putting me off, and I'm not being rude, is you remind me of a pet poodle I used to have. "
Simon to curly-haired auditioner Tatiana, Feb. 7

7)"You're one of those packages you get at Christmastime where you say: 'Can I give it back?'"
Simon to auditioner Irada, who claimed she had the "complete package," Feb.

8)You're a jolly nice young man, aren't you? I think that anyone over the age of 80 would love you. And anyone under the age of 20 wouldn't be able to relate to you."
Simon to auditioner Kevin, Feb. 7

But what I like about Simon is that he is now expected to be insulting, so now it only serves as entertainment.

On another more regional note, congrats to Ms. Simpson Miller for having won the presidency of the PNP, and presumably the designation of Prime Minister, when the time comes. Hopefully she will remove the deadweight in the Cabinet, so that matters will not be more of the same.

Blog you soon... And did anyone watch the speed skating in the Olympics.. I know little of it but I enjoyed it a few days ago.
