Haha, I read this on facebook off of one of my conservative friend's pages. My response was simple

Let me get this straight... you base your political information on results from Jeopardy? Otherwise I have no idea why you think this is important at all. I expected more, (Name Removed)
He's a journalist. They tend to be dumb. In the hierarchy of "how smart are you" on college campuses, they rank near the bottom. They're above the "College of Family and Consumer Sciences" people that do stuff like fashion merchandising, but they're far far below math, science, and techy stuff, and even rank below the Ag people who do things like turf management. Generally, they are ranked intellectually someplace along the same lines as the marketing majors.
Don't need to be smart to do his job. You just need to read from a prompter/script, ask the democratic advisor, ask the republican advisor, then say "we'll be right back". That's nothing.

I'm sure there's some I missed.
I always thought of Wolf as that jackass that enjoys his expensive media toys too much.
I never said the fact that any cable news host doesn't need to be remotely intelligent or even informed isn't a bad thing. Actually, it's a terrible thing, and every 24 hour news channel has serious problems with it.

I've never heard anyone of any political affiliation refer to anything Wolf Blitzer has ever said, mainly because he has never said anything of import.
I actually just watched both the video clips of both rounds. The questions pretty much offered the same intellectual stimulation as reading Parade Magazine. Andy Richter ended up winning $68,000 though, so good for him.
You know, I was cracking the same jokes last night. "A political commentator has a negative score, but a late-night talk show sidekick wins over fifty grand?" Not that I consider Wolf liberal, or judge intelligence based on a *celebrity* Jeopardy, but the best thing about the show was Dana Delaney with her geek-chic glasses. Hominahomina!

It was kinda funny: she didn't put them on until the game actually started and she had to read the board. So does she just walk around half-blind most of the time?

I sometimes don't wear my glasses when I'm at home. Usually morning or night though. Once I put them on I don't take them off til night. I can see just fine without them, but not good enough to read anything that isn't in my hands.
