From the Politico with video included.

He apparently didn't know as much as he thought he did.

Video is hilarious. In final Jeopardy they had to give him $1000. The look on his face was priceless!

The last thing he wanted was to stay up on the stage...

He was in the hole because Jeopardy wouldn’t provide him a teleprompter to read his answers from!!

I already posted this on Friday, but schadenfreude is good.

It was so great! You guys who missed it should check it out on You tube. One of the categories in Double Jeopardy was "E times 3". Alex said 5 seperate times that all the answers in the category would have 3 E's!!! Blitzer's wrong answers were "Jerusalem," "defendant," and "annotated." (But it sounded like he said "annodated." Plus he thought Jesus and David were born in Jerusalem.) Haha. One clue had the word "Crash" in the answer, but Blitzer guessed "What is crash?" (They were looking for "panic.") And he said Julia Childs instead of Child. Alex gave him credit, but the judges later took it off. Richter AND Delaney beat him. HA HA, what a dolt! He looked a "chipmunk in the headlights." Do yourself a favor. Watch the Youtube video and have a good laugh. He belongs on CNN.

Comedy gold. Someone needs to link Weird Al's “I Lost at Jeopardy.”

That’s what’s going thru my head!

Blitzer probably had trouble phrasing his answers into the form of a politically-correct, left-leaning, Pro-Obama question!

I was impressed with Andy Richter's performance. He won $68k for St. Jude's!

Of course, I would figure that Andy Richter, being a comedian who has to commit things to memory in order to be good at what he does, would be infinitely smarter than someone like Wolf Blitzer, who only knows what he reads from a teleprompter or cue card.

I guess the fringe media doesn't want us watching Blitzer demonstrate his lack of knowledge. Inside the beltway elitists keep telling each other how smart they are, but the more they talk the fewer people outside of their circle are fooled.

You guys are too harsh on Old Wolf. Between Wolf and I we know everything there is to know. Wolf knows everything except that he’s a dumb Jackass and I know that. (Sorry - old joke but I couldn’t resist.)

It is amazing how arrogant some of these media people can become. Just because you can read something off a teleprompter without stepping all over your tongue doesn’t make you smart.
