   they spend so much time understanding current events that they can’t possibly be expected to know the trivial things asked on Jeopardy. Just ask Charlie Gibson. That ACORN thing had him studying for days.

   I think the problem is that Jeopardy! just doesn’t have the right categories. There should be questions about the Kennedy family history, oppression of minorities, great moments in the Gay Rights Movement and such.

    SNL, about 15 years ago, had Jean Kilpatrick on.

    After she correctly answered the state capitals for Oklahoma, New York, and Washington, but was buzzered each time (with correct answers being provided by others as Oklahoma City, New York, and Washington DC) the camera left Jean’s quizzical face and panned to Alex, who stated: As some of you may not know, today’s Jeopardy features the answers most commonly given by US high school students as the correct answers….”

    Priceless. (the above is from memory, and is certainly not absolutely accurate)

    Wolf fails at math badly.

    He once referred to the fraction 29/30 as:

    “a handful”

    Sept. 2000 – the Bush/Cheney campaign starts a new effort – all Republican governors will travel the country in pairs for the campaign. There were at that time 31 governors (R) (including Bush himself). At the kickoff on the capitol steps, one had a family emergency, so 29 of the 30 traveling governors were on the steps.

    Wolf chose not to use any of the following:

    all but one

    almost all

    most

    a vast right wing majority

    quite a few

    some

    Instead, he chose to say “a handful of Republican governors …”

    Honest to God, what a stupid thing to say! If that were really the case, Wolf’s score would have been far closer to zero.

    He figured out the buzzer well enough to ring in and give $4600 dollars’ worth of wrong answers.

    Oh and by the way. I was on Jeopardy. The buzzer is not complicated. If you can operate a clickable ball-point pen, you can operate the buzzer.

    In the regular run of Jeopardy, if you can pass the tests required to get you on the show, you’ll likely know the answers to about 90% of the questions that you’ll see once you’re a contestant.

    Clearly, along with simplifying the questions to a “Celebrity” level, the show bypasses the screening process which might have winnowed out Wolfie and his idiot co-anchors.

    Wolf Blitzer beclowned himself on Celebrity Jeopardy, and it’s nobody’s fault but his own.

YOUR First Lady, Michelle Obama has been a HUGE supporter of abortion and has no qualms about the murder of millions of innocents. She is also guilty of patient dumping in Chicago where it is possible children and others may have died as a result of her refusal to treat them at the hospital she worked at. So, don’t get all pompous and righteous here on this site. Obeyme and his wife have a distinctly horrendous record on their support of abortion.

    Thank you for that and I hope your family came out ok. I spent a few years in the area with the Coast Guard and had to do some flood relief work. I know very much how things are hampered there during a crisis.

    I am big on personal accountibility and fair treatment of such by the media and the population. It is one of the main reasons I support a clean sweep of all elected officials in D.C. If one side gets blasted for racist comments, then the other side should receive the same anger for when they say something equally insensitive. The newspeople should stick to the factual news (as distinguished from opinion) as well.
