I'm a big fan of Jeopardy, but lately (lately as in 'under the Obama regime') the show's liberal bias has gone from mild and tolerable to in-your-face and highly irritating. The latest stunt was having uber-leftist witch Maureen Dowd read a clue that bashed Ken Starr.
I wonder if this is Jeopardy's future.

"I'll take 'Politicians' for $200, Alex."
"This vice-presidential candidate claimed that she could see Russia from her house."
"Who is Sarah Palin?"
"Correct for $200. Aren't we self-proclaimed intellectuals so much smarter than her?"
* * *
"I'll take 'Religion' for $400, Alex."
"The word 'Islam' translates to this in English."
"What is 'peace'?"
"Correct for $400. Don't believe those dictionaries and encyclopedias that'll try to tell you it means 'submission'."
* * *
"I'll take 'Military History' for $600, Alex."
"This attack by the Viet Cong and NVA completely crushed South Vietnamese and American forces."
"What is the Tet Offensive?"
"Correct for $600. And after that, the communists went on to capture Pearl Harbor."
* * *
"I'll take 'U.S. Presidents' for $800, Alex."
"This former President is evil and has cooties."
"Who is George W. Bush?"
"Correct for $800. We also would have accepted Nixon, Reagan, or Jefferson."
* * *
"I'll take 'People' for $1000, Alex."
"These racist pale-skinned devils are keeping the black man down."
"Who are honkies?"
"Correct for $1000. And remember, all our facts are verified by ACORN."

“I’ll take ‘Military History’ for $600, Alex.”
“This attack by the Viet Cong and NVA completely crushed South Vietnamese and American forces.”
“What is the Tet Offensive?”
That Answer was totaly B.S.The Vietcong and the NVA surprised the U.S.Forces and the South Vietnamese at the start but militarily they got their butts handed to them.
They were defeated. with huge losses.
Ken Jennings (think that was his named) complained that most of the questions had a liberal bent to them. He is a smart man.
I have often imagined being on the show and forming my “questions” as political commentary. Keeping in mind that anytime they have a lib/dim in the Q/A it is something that ends up being positive....
Alex: He was the first president to balance the budget in a hundred years.
Me: Who is the impeached, adulterer, rapist, disbarred Bill Clinton?
Um...the whole point of my post was to satirize liberals and mock them for believing in lies.
Won three times and came in second on the fourth show. After the whole getting married and having kids thing, definitely ranks as one of the top highlights of my life.

I was not attacking your statement I was just trying to show that the question was wrong from the start and as such the whole thing was biased.I just wonder where they learned their history.
By the way I am also a fan of Jeapardy.
Most of the quips running through my mind right now would likely get me banned!!! ;-P
"You think you're pretty smart Trebeck...what with your dago mustache and your greasy hair!"

I knew this was coming when i re-read what i posted. LOL, I’ll take my beatings like a man.
The soup is all-lib anyway, but still damn funny.
Joel McKale got another new pilot deal and if this one makes the network schedule, he’ll be gone. All will be lost. (sniff)
