Clay AIKEN's Tweet about Todd AKIN

[joeybee12]

American Idol" veteran Clay Aiken's name is awfully similar to that of beleaguered U.S. Rep. Todd Akin, whose remarks about "legitimate rape" have drawn criticism from both political parties.

But Aiken the singer finds some humor in the politician's troubles. As a tweet he sent out Monday night indicates, Akin's woes mean Aiken moves up a notch in Aiken/Akin brainpower circles.

Wrote Aiken: "2nd place on Idol. 2nd place on Apprentice. And now thanks to @reptoddakin I'm only the 2nd stupidest Aiken!"
