Dubya Jeopardy!

Dubya Jeopardy! by Maureen Farrell

Last week, I wrote about a Vietnam veteran's depiction of President Bush as a razzle-dazzle game show host, noting, in the end, that this administration has driven us into a never-ending game of Jeopardy. Taking the conceit even further, what would a game of Dubya Jeopardy look like?

The categories would be endless, for starters. Incompetence; Bullying; Disinformation; Rigged Elections; Dry Drunks; Going AWOL; Messianic Complexes; Dubious Associations; Impeachable Offenses -- you name it. Can I have Quagmires for $200, Alex? I'll take War Profiteering for $1000!

"Final Jeopardy" questions could pertain to everything from Armageddon agendas to End of Days star Arnold Schwarzenegger's run for governor. And given that we've been in perpetual Double Jeopardy since Nov. 2000 anyway, categories and questions would bubble to the surface in a veritable scum pond of possibilities. Here's but a sample:

1. This sounds like a campaign commercial idea.

And a good one. Viewers of Jeopardy trend older.. and older folks tend to vote more. With a wisely-written campaign commercial, we can hit him HARD.

For a long time now, I've been making the case that campaign commercials need to be FUNNY. Humor is based on truth, and when you can get people to laugh with you, your chances of winning them over go through the roof.

People are tired of the grainy, black-and-white slo-motion images of the opponent politician with the sinister-sounding voiceover. Mock the politician.

Funny campaign commercials.. mark my words..
