Calling American Idol judge Simon Cowell a “trivial judge, viciously using partisanship for the narrowest of purposes,” Newt Gingrich said that the selection of Kris Allen over Adam Lambert in last night’s American Idol final was reason enough to believe that Cowell “…could no longer be trusted to determine talent.”

“Cowell engaged in a despicable, dishonest and vicious political effort to withhold what he knew about the American Idol’s harsh selection techniques,” said the former House Speaker.
