I’m sorry, but I thought Clay Aiken was a baseball/ football/ soccer star. He’ just an uneducated asshole with some kind of name recognition? Who’d know?
Clay Aiken is a homosexual whose chief claim to fame is having lost a televised singing contest, who has improbably parlayed that into becoming a Democrat candidate for the US House in North Carolina. His closest competitor in that race, Keith Crisco, died suddenly and unexpectedly of a fall at his home, thereby avoiding a runoff election.
You’re confusing Clay Aiken with another homosexual from Texas, Troy Aikman.
Tough to keep them all straight, I guess.
