Pat Sajak is no stranger to a Twitter controversy and Monday (June 1), he finds himself in hot water with some of his followers because of a tweet he wrote about the fairness of "Wheel of Fortune" puzzles in the ever-changing cultural landscape.

Pat Sajak ✔ ‎@patsajak As we lose our common culture, one odd side effect: it's harder to find puzzles on Wheel that are fair to all. 10:57 AM - 1 Jun 2015

Seeing that picture makes me even prouder to have donated a brick to Hillsdale College’s “Rebirth of Liberty and Learning” campaign last year!

Pat should be entered into the Conservative Hall of Fame. Not many get named nowadays.

In other words the country is flooded with people who don’t share our culture and are too stupid to be to answer the questions.

What a godsend twitter is for lazy or agenda driven journalists. Over 500,000,000 tweets a day and they gin a story up over some vanishingly small percentage of them. Meaningless.

Outrage? His tweet has 100 retweets and almost 200 favorites. Not that any in the grand scheme of things.

Pat Sajak is great. I agree with him and if people are upset at his tweet I got this puzzle for Liberals: ‘Sh_t T_e F_ck _P.’ Liberals, lets spin the wheel!!!

Like the example of “seven swans a-swimming”, the contestant must read the puzzle as written not as you want it to be.

And he divides his time between California (where Wheel is taped) and Maryland (?) I believe his wife is from Lord Baltimore’s shooting gallery and when they got married, he moved there. If I were making the kind of money that Pat does, I would persuade my spouse to move to a low tax state.

He was part of the crew at Armed Forces Radio in Saigon; replaced Adrian Cronauer (the inspiration for Good Morning Vietnam) on the morning shift.

If anything is a sign that this country has gone to Hell-—this must be it.

How can ANYONE say anything snarky about Wheel Of Fortune?????
Or Pat Sajak or Vanna?

It makes you think—as does Jeopardy. Even the new show—500 Questions makes you think-—altho, the ‘host’ is very annoying to me.

There’s a youtube video of Pat interviewing Werner Klemperer(Colonel Klink) that I watched from his show.

What is wrong with what he said? I am sure it is true. No one should be offended by that.
