White House senior adviser David Axelrod agreed to take the hot seat Thursday night when he answered questions for the game “Not My Job” at a live taping of NPR’s " Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!"

Styled after the old-fashioned radio quiz shows, "Wait Wait" challenges contestants with trivia games based on current news stories and is hosted by playwright Peter Sagal and newscaster Carl Kasell.

A former journalist known for his snappy sound bites, Axelrod kept up with jokes on everything from the president’s “perfection” (“The only suggestion he rejected was when I asked him to put on a mole”) to the recent flap over Carrie Prejean’s beauty pageant comments.

When Axelrod was asked if he had weighed in on the Obama family’s dog choice, "the Rasputin in this kingdom" (as Sagal jokingly refered to him) sassed back, “I was only called in for the final three, and one was Miss California.”

Sagal also asked Axelrod whether he's "an evil or a benevolent genius” Axelrod rejected a comparision with Karl Rove, criticizing George W. Bush's chief political adviser of “trying to run the Republican Party [from] out of the White House.” He said he's not an idealogue but an idealist whose goal is to help communicate whatever message the president decides is best.

When pressed further, Axelrod insisted that his influence is minimal and quipped that his primary means of giving the president his opinion is by “passing a note to the person on the left.”

The show poked fun at Obama camp idealism and tried to stump Axelrod with a series of trivia questions related to obscure failed Utopias. Throwing fuel on the fire, Axelrod earnestly stated that, despite hurdles in the campaign, the Obama administration “was meant to be." Sagal immediately responded: "He suffered for our sake.”

Other panelists included Mo Rocca from CBS, the Washington Post’s Roxanne Roberts and comedien Paula Poundstone. The edited program will air Saturday at 11 a.m. on WAMU 88.5 FM.

Hat tip to American Thinker's blog!

I knew Axisrodent reminded me of someone...

[Just mythoughts]

I think Bama’s prompter programmer is just a wee bit toooo modest.

[Semper Mark]

An evil or benevolent genius...ha!

Stupid is as stupid does. And he does love Obama...

[unkus]

They have surrounded us with evil, vile creatures.

[wardaddy]

Jewish American multigenerational Communist being compared to Hitler....

does he go for that look on purpose ya think?

makes you wonder about his self image?

I see kapo...a very very powerful one at that

He is bred for and lives to dismantle our culture....make no mistake of that...he is the real deal.

Emmanuel is lightweight compared to Axlerod.

[Semper Mark]

But you know better than I, that being surrounded isn’t the worst thing in the world...at least now we know who and where they are.

[ozzymandus]

Gee, if I didn’t know better, I’d think David Axelrod was a slimy piece of scum. Hey, wait, I don’t know better.

[SolidWood]

The evil of fascism doesn't stop at ethnic/religious borders. Axelrod is, as you say, a destructive totalitarian.

does he go for that look on purpose ya think?

Of course. He could shave himself, or groom his mustache and hair in a maybe less Hitler-like fashion.

[TigersEye]

What an ass.

[wardaddy]

Axlerod does indeed look like Hitler but I think he is more Bolshie that goose stepper

"...Throwing fuel on the fire, Axelrod earnestly stated that, despite hurdles in the campaign, the Obama administration “was meant to be." Sagal immediately responded: "He suffered for our sake.”

I'm so tired of the view of Barack Obama as a messiah. All the while continually disparaging Christianity, the Bible, and Christ Himself... What honest Christian would make the claims he does? And what honest Christian would stay in a church for 20 years that advocates Black Values Theology which advances the causes of extreme racial prejudice against all Caucasians. What honest Christian would exalt and support a relative who burned women and children in churches in Kenya? I don't think I need to go on for everyone to get the point here...

Obama himself has reinforced this idolatry, with the assistance of the press. Take for example the following picture (by Reuters), and the quote given by Barack at the end of a sermon/stump speech at a So. Carolina church during the campaign back in October '08. What Christian would honestly dare to take the words of Jesus and twist them to apply to a worldly government in his quest for power?

I'm still insistent that Obama is NOT a true Christian. I still firmly believe he is a Muslim practicing Taqiyya. One of the clearest signs of this is that not one Fatwah has been issued against Obama for being an apostate - which if he really has converted to Christianity from being a Muslim makes him a more worthy target of extremination by Jihadists than even an Infidel (unbeliever). Also witness that Louis Farrakhan (Leader of the "Nation of Islam" good buddy of Rev. Wright, and Libya's President Qudaffyi(sp?)) gave a sermon to his followers saying that when Obama speaks it is the "messiah speaking".


I recently re-sized the picture - sorry the words are a bit blurry now...

Pray for those mislead by this evil man. He has replaced God in the hearts of so many people, and is their source of hope in this uncertain world... And, they are so misguided. The results of their replacing God for a mere mortal man will harm us all, and give this FALSE MESSIAH/GOLDEN CALF even more power over the people to oppress us, and feed his ego...

[Semper Mark]

The White House Minister Of Propaganda does look like the little Fuhrer, doesn't he...

Could be intentional, could be.

Obama poses like Il Duce and Axelrod looks like Hitler.
We've entered the Twilight Zone.

[wardaddy]

damn...Obama does do that Il Duce head tilt doesn’t he?

what a poseur?

Obama is surrounded by idealogues .....Axlerod is no different than Ayers...just no bombs.

standard Saul Alinsky

I laughed at first, but it is positively creepy.

[True Republican Patriot]

An Excellent Match of PURE EVIL and SATANISM! Which One Is More Dispicable? t’s Difficult to Determine!

[Talisker]

Axlerod does indeed look like Hitler but I think he is more Bolshie that goose stepper

He's whatever works. He'd be pro-life if he could figure out how to use it to bring down the country.

Is he one of People's most beautiful too?
