Confirmed: Clay Aiken's congressional run will be comedy gold

Oh my. This is going to be fun.

Democrat Clay Aiken thinks he has a chance at the North Carolina congressional seat held by GOP Rep. Renee Ellmers. That right there is already funny. But there’s more.

The “American Idol” runner-up said this on CNN today:

@clayaiken says he's not bothered by criticism: 'politics is the only place..where one person's success depends on another person's failure'
