In a wide-ranging interview on Thursday night, David Axelrod opened up about comparisons to Karl Rove, the White House dress code, President Obama’s battle against smoking, the First Family’s new dog and even Miss California.
He did this all on a game show.
The senior adviser to the president and former campaign consultant was the special guest on National Public Radio’s “Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me!” which made a road trip to George Washington University in the nation’s capital for an episode that will air this weekend.
Mr. Axelrod – or, as host Peter Sagal called him, “the moustache behind the throne” – was on to play “Not My Job,” in which notable people face pop quizzes about subjects they are totally unfamiliar with. (In Mr. Axelrod’s case, that meant failed historical Utopian movements – or, as the show dubbed it, “No, We Can’t.”)
But before that, Mr. Axelrod played a different kind of mental gymnastics, displaying a barbed wit while both answering and deflecting questions from Mr. Sagal and the Chicago-based show’s panel – the comics Mo Rocca and Paula Poundstone and The Washington Post’s Roxanne Roberts.
At times, the “Rasputin in this magic kingdom,” as Mr. Sagal also labeled him, was dismissive of his predecessors in the White House, such as when he was asked about comparisons to Karl Rove, a chief adviser to former President George W. Bush.

They’re a bunch of thugs. Sickening. They make Bill Clinton’s crew look classy.
It’s deviate filth like David Axelrod, that cause people to tolerate the creation of Concentration Camps.
Never deprive these people of a chance to show their true colors.
Change her name from “Michelle”?
These people are the lowet of the low, the most disgusting, vile bunch since the Clintons.
I wish the vast majority of Americas would wake up and demand this s.o.b. and his entire court abdicate.
LOL - they are the Clinton crew - they just jumped ship (supposedly). Obama has no crew - he's a new prop for a very old machine.
They’re like a sack of festering puss in our white house. Robbing us blind while slapping each other high fives and laughing all the way to the bank.
Did you hear that laugh the lot of them had? Creepy.
Low rent dickheads all.
Is anyone really surprised?
They shouldn’t be.
People of character they are not.
Just call it “America.”
If Bill Clinton can be the first black president, I guess Obama can be white trash.
And just what is that supposed to mean?
Didn't Paula Poundstone go to prison for child abuse? I believe she was charged with committing lewd acts on her foster daughter.
Nice crowd.
If the dog was trashy they could just name it “Michelle Too”.
They are sky high with their victory but..they are slipping. They are showing US their real identities and it sickening and disgusting to the common man and I use that word with the utmost respect.They are thugs and donkeys.They hate US! God help Us Defeat these donkeys!May God bless Miss California for stepping into the arena to face the perverts..it is going to be really tough for her. I expect an apology from Pansy Axelrod!I hope BO throws him under the Bus!
Good point. The nazis pictured jews as rats. So, now a christian woman is a dog, a bitch if I understand Axelrod’s intent.
I say, just name the dog Michelle
