Yes, the White House is in Jeopardy! No, not from a new al-Qaeda plot - or even from a reversal in positions on a key social issue.
This week the "Jeopardy!" Teen Tournament is being broadcast from Washington, DC..
Unsurprisingly, even this long running standard of intellectual gamesmanship has been infiltrated by the Obama perpetual campaign machine targeting the youth vote.
It started with Alex Trebek earlier in the week talking to the contestants about their White House tour. One young lady waxed rhapsodically as if on cue about the First Lady's kitchen garden, with a description of her first taste of arugula.
Wednesday night's show featured car enthusiast Joe Biden reading clues about the American car industry, talking about GM's position up to 2008 and then its revival, gas guzzlers and jeeps. Of course, during the commercial break there was a spot by Biden speaking about President Obama's efforts to curb gas guzzlers, a direct spin off from the show clue. There was even a clue in another category asking when President Obama was elected.
What's next - will Axelrod and company hit the winners up for campaign donations and photo-ops?
Seriously, final jeopardy is when no aspect or our society or culture is immune from the shameless pandering and voracious self-serving practices perfected by the manipulative Obama propaganda machine.
