Last Night's 1 Vs 100 Repeat - Political Question
"In reference to your political leanings, if someone referred to you as a Jackass, you would be a member of which party?"

Choices were....A. Republican. B. Democratic C. Libertarian

The contestant got it right. What was more shocking, was that of the roughly 80 Mob members left, a total of around 36 got the question WRONG.

Bob Sagat's comment was something like...."This is a perfect indication of why our nation is in so much trouble right now."

1. I'd have picked "A", just because...
Money be damned, Republicans are jackasses. :D

2. I posted this a while back - I was astonished as well. Really depressing.

4. I Felt Sorry For The First Lady In That Show
While this guy got that as his second question, her's was about a life form you would find on the Gallapagos Islands, called "boobies."

Her answer was the same one I would have chosen....Giant Turtles. She reasoned it exactly as I did, that the Gallapagos Islands are famous for the turtles.

Something inside me momentarily made me recall I had heard birds referred to as boobies before, but then I said....Nah, it has to be the Gallapagos turtles.

5. They Try To Be "Cute" With The Way They Word Questions
Edited on Thu Mar-01-07 04:59 PM by OrangeCountyDemocrat
They take liberties with the language. They probably wanted the chance to use the word Ass on television, so they figured out a way to do it.
