Did you see Franken on Jeopardy yesterday?

Franken, Gretchen Carlson and Keith Olbermann were on and I only caught the Final Jeopardy segment.

Franken had $8000, Carlson was a minus 1800 ( that's right, a negative $1800 on puffball answers), and Olberman was at $7800. (Yeah, I know, great totals for Jeopardy , huh?)

The Final Jeopardy was "Aaron Burr's daughter and newly wed husband vacationed here in 1801, and established an American tradition," or something like that.

Gretchen was allowed to play by having her negative total changed to a plus and got the right question. Olbermann went next and smugly, smirked when his question was also correct and he was in the lead. Even gave a dismissive, "Yes, I know," wave of his hand when Alex exclaimed he was in the lead. However, he spelled Niagara N-I-A-G-R-A.

Franken was last and his quesiton was right too.

BUT - Franken didn't stop there. Oh, no.

"HA, HA. And I spelled it right too. *pointing at Olbermann* You spelled it like Viagra. HA,HA,HA."

What a complete dork. Olbermann just stood there with a "Who $hit in my Easter basket look on his face that slowly turned to a "You want to step outside and say that a$$hole, look.

Wish I had seen the whole show to see just what kind of puffball trivia was given these doofi.
