You know, sometimes Simon Cowell's arrogant schtick can get a little out of control.
It's one thing when you're pretending your dream date would be mirror.
But last night the Brit stepped a little over the line when he bragged to Leno that he had dissed our President by turning down a dinner with him -- just because their schedules didn't mesh.
"Barack Obama wanted to have dinner, but our diaries didn't quite match," smirked the American Idol judge on the Tonight Show With Jay Leno on March 25.
"He wanted to do eight, I was free at nine: we just didn't quite connect."
Come on Simon, that's the President you're talking about -- have just a little respect!
