Idol Updates: 'No Golden Ticket,
But They Have Each Other'

In an article in today's Washington Post, American Idol is praised by the Special Olympics for including Jonathan Jayne on the show. Jayne is a former particiant in the games who was ridiculed last week during an appearance on Idol in which he sung a patriotic song.

Jane and the contestant referred to by Simon Cowell as "Bush Baby" (Kenneth Briggs) also were on Jimmy Kimmell's show on Friday. More here.

And here's the link to contestant Jayne's online biography, which the New York Times dug up last week.

And here's my prior post, where I argue that American Idol judges aren't so special.

God bless America.
