Jason, 28, from Grand Prairie, Tex., performed a couple of numbers in the Missouri state capitol before, the paper said, the sheriff made a speech to a "small group of Yaeger fans and onlookers."

Sheriff Merritt rewarded Jason with a ringing endorsement of his performance. "The way I hear Jason sing the national anthem makes you want to go out and kill a communist," he enthused.

Jason certainly never got praise like that from Simon Cowell!
