Parse Error: Expected no additional symbols at symbol select

Running the following query :
query = MODEL_NAME.gql("select * from MODEL_NAME where name = :1", supplied_name) 
I got the error below :
Traceback (most recent call last):

BadQueryError: Parse Error: Expected no additional symbols at symbol select
This is a simple fix:
query = MODEL_NAME.gql("select * from MODEL_NAME where name = :1", supplied_name) 
App Engine's orm is already supplying the "select * from" part of the query.

Remove "SELECT * FROM"

gql() have implicit "SELECT * FROM"
