Raghu and Sanjaya have much in common regardless of their cultural origins. Both are minimally talented narcissists who overstayed their welcomes. Both had the backing of people with agendas, and most importantly, if both of their names were never heard again, we would all be a lot better off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16908834.post-82231058326570782452007-05-11T11:29:00.000-07:002007-05-11T11:29:00.000-07:00I can't wait for more politically correct handwrin...I can't wait for more politically correct handwringing over yet another nonissue.<BR/><BR/>Lets hear more about the high school girls, though.

Hence the "Sri Lankan" allusion.

I do not think Raghu is Sri Lankan. So have him auditioning on Mumbay Idol.

People are so f...ing worried about gays in schools, but it's the straight men we need to be wary of. My partner is a teacher in public school and in the last twenty years in his district there have been at least five cases of straight male teachers having affairs with high school girls. Although here are gay teachers in this district, there have been no cases of gays harrassing sexually students. In fact, you rarely hear of gay male teachers harrassing students, but the straight harrassment makes the news almost weekly. And it's usually old white guys too!<BR/><BR/>Parents, get a clue! Forget about the gays in schools; but watch the straight men!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16908834.post-77248628579117861492007-05-10T22:33:00.000-07:002007-05-10T22:33:00.000-07:00How many agree with "Bearded Guy" that the Sri Lan...How many agree with "Bearded Guy" that the Sri Lankan idol stuff has an "underlying tone of prejudice"? <BR/><BR/>My intent (I think) was simply to exploit the brief fame of this Sanjaya kid to concoct this (funny?) earlier chapter of Raghu's career.

If Sanjaya was not Indian would you make this comparison? <BR/>I liked your previous post on taking the "High Road".
