American Idol’s Sanjaya Announces Bid for Presidency in 2008

LOS ANGELES (Just Laugh) – After yet another successful week of narrowly dodging the vote in America’s favorite karaoke competition, finalist Sanjaya Malakar announced late this evening that he would be raising the bar even higher for himself once season six of American Idol comes to a conclusion at the end of May.

“It just seems like a cool thing to do, ya’ll,” the performer explained to press after the evening’s live show once again left him very much in the competition for another week, much to the surprise of fans and the judges alike. “I mean, you know – American Idol is great and I’ve been having so much fun out here with all of that, so why not keep that going on a little longer? Besides, just like how I’ve stayed in this competition so long – I can’t really be any worse than any of those Presidential candidates either, can I?” Sanjaya told reporters with an air of confidence that could only come from his own self understanding that he actually has a shot at winning either competition…

When asked for comment, Simon Cowell remarked, “If Sanjaya’s going to be your President, then maybe I will go back to England after all…” which invoked a startling applause from the crowd of Sanjaya fans that had gathered around the impromptu Q&A.

“I think Sanjaya would make a great President,” offered Paula Abdul, adding, “and if it would be enough to send Simon back to England, then that’s all that he needs to get my vote!

Representatives for Sanjaya’s political efforts stated that although the singer won’t be making any major appearances until after American Idol is completed, they did note that Sanjaya has begun taking notes on the issues which he deems most important himself and will continue to formulate his future political platform as his time between rehearsals allows.
