I hope Pat Sajak has lots of money saved and has a long-term contract, because I know for darn sure that the long knoves will be out.

This is a wonderful piece, and he just about hits all the bases. Thanks for the ping, Liz!

Bravo. Pat is one of the few in Hollywood who get it.

Thanks for the ping, Liz. I always enjoyed Pat Sajak's wit and the speech shows he has a deep intellect as well. He needs to run for office.

GREAT speech!

I have heard Pat say on tv (I think during the 2000 campaign season) that he tried not to use his "celebrity" to promote his political views because the two were entirely separate.

As much as I'd like to see him speaking out more, I have to respect that stand. He would be the hypocrite that he says the others are if he used his fame that way.

It's a shame though because he is certainly eloquent in this speech!

To clarify: I don't think making a convocation speech to a small college audience qualifies as stating his views on the national stage ..... and I wonder how many such speeches he has made through the years of which we are unaware.
