No single agenda would addresses as many core U.S. strategic issues as a revamped energy policy. Achieving energy independence could at once un-muddy...
...earn Clarkson much capital with RCA or her management firm at the time, 19 Entertainment. (19, the company owned by show creator Simon Fuller, has the right to sign any Idol contestant; another contractual obligation. It had no comment on this or any Clarkson-related matter.)
