Wolf's Tough "jeopardy"

It was a rough night for CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Thursday night's "Jeopardy!"

The "Situation Room" anchor came in last — and even in the red before Final Jeopardy — and lost to Dana Delany and Andy Richter.

Wolf reminds me of the William Hurt character in “Broadcast News”, he only appears smart when people are feeding him lines, but on his own, dumb as a stump.

+1 for Dana!

[Mac from Cleveland]

To #2 and #18,

Thank you!

then throw in Rush on one side and Rhaum Emanuel on the other side, on the other side and they would really show the difference between liberals and conservatives. Without being able to use the DNC talking points most liberals would be lost.

Strange example. Rahm Emanuel writes the DNC talking points and is extremely dangerous. All the more so because he has dual citizenship, so who knows where his loyalty lies?

Just one more item of immigration reform that has fallen by the wayside. Persons holding dual citizenship should be forced to renounce their non-US passports when going into governmental office. We do that for soldiers ...

Stupid actor week on “Jeopardy!”. So easy even a caveman could do it-but not liberal celebrities.

Blitzer was visibly mortified and Alex Trebek embarrassed. Every stereotype of air-headed talking heads was confirmed.

I am willing to bet that all three of the Jeopardy contestants have their college transcripts available or can be observed. Now, our extra smart intelligent President won’t let his college transcripts be publicized...I mean when anyone else in the US is hired a curriculum vitae is required for all to see. If Obama is so damn smart, let us see proof.... Until I see his curriculum vitae I will believe we have a dumbass affirmative action politician hoisted upon us.

mortified? I thought Wolfie looked downright wee weed off at somebody. He is more accustomed to be the smartest one in the room over at CNN. He probably doesn’t get out much just for that reason.

I thoroughly enjoyed Wolf’s fury when he got called on the Julia Child mistake.

Holy mackeral.

BTW, Andy Richter and Dana Delany are Conservatives.

Are you sure about that?

In addition, she has supported Planned Parenthood. She attended the organization's 90th birthday celebration in New York City in 2006. Delany said: "It's hard to imagine where we'd be in this country had Margaret Sanger not founded that first clinic here in New York, 90 years ago." She attended events sponsored by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.

Yikes. That quote diminishes the impact of the pic in post 2. I'd like to think you're right about Andy, though. I enjoyed his performance on Jeopardy.
