David Axelrod plays 'Not My Job' on 'Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me' (Refers to Carrie Prejean as a dog)

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.

THIS is why people like me grit our teeth at the thought of one red cent being used to fund NPR and PBS. These entities are liberal offshoots and mouthpieces of the Democrat Party.

The moral rot in liberalism is evident in this White House and the party inhabiting it.

From a President...A PRESIDENT yucking it up while a hateful, vile lesbian attacks a private citizen on his behalf, wishing him dead of a kidney ailment, to this scum, being "clever" and insulting this woman who gave a reasonable answer to an unreasonable and inappropriate question, the lack of class and ascent of spiteful hate is telling.

The fact that they are all devotees of Saul Alinsky is telling all by itself.

Comparing Miss California to a dog..... what an a-hole.

Ah, yes, the adolescent’s classroom communication.

We have a bunch of childish buffoons in charge who govern by “I know what you are, but what am I?”

Mr. Axelrod shows he has no class and a poor sense of humor.

I have no idea.

Comedian Poundstone charged with molesting child

LEGAL BRIEF Paula Poundstone avoided trial in her child abuse case with a plea agreement that cleared her of lewd conduct charges. She pleaded no contest in Los Angeles Superior Court to a felony charge of child endangerment and a misdemeanor charge of inflicting injury on a child. ''The lewd conduct charges against me were dropped because they weren't true,'' Poundstone said in an issued statement. ''I pled no-contest to the child endangerment-injury charges because they were. My drinking helped to create a dangerous situation for the children. For this, I am very sorry.'' The 41-year-old comedian was sentenced to five years supervised probation and 180 days in a secure drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in lieu of jail. Poundstone was already in rehab when she was arrested in June. She lost custody of her three adopted children upon her arrest, but she could get them back. However, she will not regain custody of her two foster children and will not be eligible to take in additional foster children.

I didn't recognize her name. I don't pay much attention to pop culture. It has become so vacuous. Those links are in Wikipedia.

Is this creep not the smarmiest looking thug you’ve ever seen.

Here in Taxachusetts, we have him to thank for our Governor, Deval (Coupe d’Ville - since he traded in Romney’s Crown Vic for a Caddy!!!!) Patrick, and for helping to conceal Obama’s illegal alien fugitive-from-deportation Auntie Zeituni (sorry if I got that wrong, I’m not so up on Kenyan names) in public taxpayer funded housing!

We should rename him Uncle Chester the Child Molester.

He certainly looks the part.
