American Idol, Anna Nicole, Dumb and Dumber - 30-11-2007 22:27:04
American Idol. I mean, they are not my idol. Are they yours?
The late Anna Nicole Smith. More of an American Idol that most American Idols, for her stunning looks, witty sense of humor, and likable personality. An All-American Lady, in my expert opinion.

Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag. We have r more »
