The World According To John Rae the Great

America managed to rescue themselves from sinking into the cultural abyss by finally booting off Sanjaya from American Idol.  It was long overdue, heck, it bewilders me that he even got to the top 12, or even the top 24. 

.

Strangely enough though, I think I will be suffering from Sanjaya withdrawal in the next few weeks.  Sure he was bad, but by God he was so bad that it was GOOD.  Good entertainment anyway.  Every week I looked forward to seeing how horribly he would perform each time.  Now I will have to content myself with watching all his past (excuses of) performances and the slew of homemade and mainstream TV parodies made in his (dis)honor.  Here are some choice cuts from YouTube:
