The Next Democratic Senator of Connecticut in the Making! Inspired by Dick Blumenthal?
By Dave Nemetz
NBC’s summer talent show “America’s Got Talent” looked like it had found a new star this week in country singer Tim Poe, who came to the stage with a heart-tugging story: He’s an Afghanistan war veteran who was injured by a rocket-propelled grenade, suffering brain damage and developing a stutter that he can only suppress while singing. But his tale might be too good to be true. Reports are now surfacing that Poe may have fabricated the whole story.
NBC had no comment on the story, but if proven true, these accusations could turn a feel-good story into a serious scandal for the network. At the very least, it sounds as if someone at NBC didn’t do their homework before broadcasting Poe’s story into millions of homes.
He missed one thing in his story. He should’ve added he had American Indian heritage.

He’s Indian? He must have been drunk. Or am I racist?

Obviously the guy made it through this round via his hard luck story because he is a hack guitar player and just a better than average singer.

More people vote on AGT than did in the 2008 election. Very, very sad!
