Chris Matthews, one of the most arrogant and nastiest people on TV got his comeuppance on Celebrity Jeopardy this week. Mathews, who considers himself an intellectual, used Jeopardy to demean Sarah Palin on numerous occasions in the 2008 Presidential campaign. Here are some of his comments:
“Is this [vice presidential debate] about her brain power?… Do you think cute will beat brains?…Do you think she’d do better on the questions on Jeopardy! or the interview they do during a half-time?…My suspicion is that she has the same lack of intellectual curiosity that the President of the United States has right now and that is scary!”
Then on January 12, 2010:
They find these empty vessels who know nothing about the world! Nothing about foreign policy! Who immediately begin to spout the neo-con line. I read her book — it’s full of that crap….It’s unbelievable how little this woman knows!…Don’t put her on Jeopardy!”
And again on November 2, 2010:
“Senator, do you think Sarah Palin is qualified to be President of the United States?…If she were on Jeopardy! right now and the topic was national government, American government generally defined, would she look like an imbecile, or would she look okay? Does she know anything?”
And finally on January 19, 2011:
“I’d like to see her on just a couple of episodes of Celebrity Jeopardy! or It’s Academic Mac McGarry to just see if she knows anything.”
Well guess who was on Celebrity Jeopardy this week? Mr. Nasty, himself. How did the intellectual wizard do? See for yourself, click the link below.
