what is today’s wedgie

…October 2, 2008…
“Is this [vice presidential debate] about her brain power?… Do you think cute will beat brains?…Do you think she’d do better on the questions on Jeopardy! or the interview they do during a half-time?…My suspicion is that she has the same lack of intellectual curiosity that the President of the United States has right now and that is scary!”

…January 12, 2010:

They find these empty vessels who know nothing about the world! Nothing about foreign policy! Who immediately begin to spout the neo-con line. I read her book — it’s full of that crap….It’s unbelievable how little this woman knows!…Don’t put her on Jeopardy!”

…November 2, 2010:

“Senator, do you think Sarah Palin is qualified to be President of the United States?…If she were on Jeopardy! right now and the topic was national government, American government generally defined, would she look like an imbecile, or would she look okay? Does she know anything?”

January 19, 2011:

“I’d like to see her on just a couple of episodes of Celebrity Jeopardy! or It’s Academic Mac McGarry to just see if she knows anything.”…

…In a delicious example of instant karma, the self-proclaimed brainiac got his chance to show America how smart he was in a special “Power Players” version of the show…

    Please PLEASE let Saturday Night Live take notice.

    I guess there is no possibility of that.

    Cut Chrissie some slack; he was feeling all tingley there being in the presense of somebody who’s been in the presence of our Dear leader. Bet he was gasping for breath.

    Losing on Jeopardy is bad enough but to lose to Lizzie O’Leary and Robert Gibbs…

    Kinda reminds me of a local casino promotion recently. Slot players vied for a chance to play Tic-Tac-Toe against… a live chicken for other prizes. Folks were lined up to do this. I thought this was a bad idea. I mean where do you go when you lose a game to a chicken in front of your friends??

    Casino finally figured it was a bad idea also. People lined up to play Tic-Tac-Toe were obviously not plonked down in front of a slot machine.

    Chris & Wolfe, both crashed and burned.

    I wonder if we can get the show to do a news network vs news network week, each night pick different “personalities” from CNN, FOX, MSNBC, etc and see who does best. Then the next week talk radio. That would be epic.
