Is our Wolf Blitzer learning?


Not a misprint. Not a Late Night with Conan O'Brien sketch. Wolf Blitzer went on Celebrity Jeopardy and racked up a -$4600 smackeroo defeat. You know, Celebrity Jeopardy: the Jeopardy that dumbs down it's questions. That's "won't even allow you to answer the final question" territory. That's "take money from your chosen charity" territory. That's "Wolf Blitzer might be functionally retarded" territory.

It's not surprising. I mean any guy that has 8 pages worth of links on Media Matters listing his numerous inadequacies and mental shortcomings as a news host surely isn't going to be able to rattle off facts about Charlemagne or who played bass for Foghat. How could he? It's Sean's famous "anyone who remotely looks like Will Ferrell's version of Alex Trebek stands no chance on Celebrity Jeopardy" corollary in effect again.
