Clay Aiken gets political
The word "goon" comes to mind. Clay is fundraising in a public venue and two security goons ask a conservative reporter to leave.

Video: How to get kicked out of a Clay Aiken fundraiser
In case you hadn�t heard the news, American Idol star, singer and actor Clay Aiken is running for Congress in North Carolina�s second congressional district. He�s hoping to take on (and take down) current GOP Representative Renee Ellmers. While Aiken�s success could allow him to largely self-fund the effort, politics still requires you to get out there and do some fundraising, pressing the flesh with the local donors and power brokers. But as the following video shows, don�t bother stopping by if you�re a Republican. You�re likely to get an icy � and expletive laden � welcome. You can just see Aiken in the background as the clip begins, though he�s quickly blocked from view by some looming thugs with a lot to say.
I�ll preface this with the necessary warnings. NC-17 language ahead, and so much of it packed into a barely more than 30 second clip that I can�t even put up a transcript on the pages of Hot Air. So it�s not for the easily offended and put your headphones on if the kids are around.
If this is the kind of people he surrounds himself with, you can only imagine what kind of a Congressman he will be - listening to his constituents and all that good stuff.
Aesop had this to say (from
The Ass and His Purchaser):
A man is known by the company he keeps.
And who can forget
Proverbs 13:20:
He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
It is good that Clay has a singing career to fall back on...
