Comments
Thanks for the far better questions Professor.
To think! Jeopardy used to be intellectual – well many decades back – before it went all Gaga pop culture clowning!
“Alex, let me try ‘Batsh!t Crazy Progressive Faux-Native Americans’ for $1,000, please!”
Nicely done Professor.
The Full Stephanopolous for 2014, Alex.
and there was that random driver of hers that she seemed to be cozy with … forgot the details on that.
Answer: This college claimed to have a woman that was also native American enrolled in studies, though they never verified that false claim.
Question: What is Harvard Law.
Answer: A manipulative woman that verified her native American heritage by her entry in a recipe book annotated simply as “Cherokee”, as well as claims of high cheekbones in her ancestors.
Question: Who the hell does Elizabeth Warren think she is?
My how the media turns. Now Jeopardy submits as a tool of the left to rehabilitate the reputation of that lovable fuzz ball known as Mrs. Warren. But there’s hope, I am confident that each episode’s integrity can be bought by the highest bidder.
If I win the lottery, I’ll sponsor a game that highlights how the not so Native-American Mrs. Warren was caught red-handed in lie after lie regarding her heritage (see https://legalinsurrection.com/2012/05/its-elizabeth-warrens-and-harvards-federal-filings-stupid/).
Alex Trebek should be fined for an In Kind contribution.
This absurdity comes after another one titled “what women want”! It looks like the twenty somethings have taken over.
For Alah’s sake. The pettiness.
WAAAAAAAA! Jeopardy didn’t talk about Elizabeth Warren the way weeeeeee want it toooooooo!
Get over yourselves.
Go collect some bottles, log on to Amazon, and TRY to buy a used sense of humor.
Moron.
I’m thinking this douche nozzle might just be Short Bus Gus. Being the dimwitted, progressive masochist that he is, he just can’t help but come back for more verbal beat downs.
That’s exactly who he is, as I identified about a week or ten days ago.
He has a thousand suck-puppets, too.
Have another drink or toke. You aren’t there, yet.
While you’re at it, look us ‘sarcasm’ in the dictionary. Also, find two synonyms, two antonyms and write a sentence with each. It’s due Monday.
Q: Name of the legal and political blog that has reported more facts that Elizabeth Warren would like to keep hidden than all other blogs combined.
A: What is Legal Insurrection?
I have noticed for quite some time that Jeopardy is decidedly pushing Left wing BS. Even their contestants seem to be lefties.
Odd there was no mention that she was booted as head of CFPB because she could never win Senate confirmation, being viewed as a radical.
She nursed a child during a test? So she contrived to improve her score by making the other testees violently ill?
It does sound like she actually had the kid nursing during the test, but I think she meant during the same longer term time frame. But as with Obama, details don’t really matter, it is the narrative that is important.
By “nurse” she may mean the kid was fed formula by a worker, out of a rubber nippled bottle, afaik. But her actual “first nursing mother to take the exam” claim is as unsubstantiated as her American Indian roots, or her stolen Cherokee recipes, or her “you didn’t build that” dialogue.
That was one hungry kid, or she had crib-notes hidden in his/her Pampers.
Great post. Where’s the like button.
The Glenn Beck radio show picked up this article this morning (properly attributed to LI/WAJ) and played a round of Jeopardy using WAJ’s questions. Pretty funny.
