I'm surprised she didn't come in fourth.

“There are no easy answers' but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right.” - Ronald Reagan (1964 Republican Convention)

It's not George Bush's fault because the buzzer is so complicated?

CNN will be fact checking each of the Jeopardy shows...

Let's face it folks...The vast majority of these on-air anchors (particularly on the lib networks) are just well-coiffed, news reader talking heads, who, unless it's written for them, can barely string two coherent sentences together. The fact that Bitzer and now O'Brien went down in flames isn't a real surprise...Just because these twits can read on camera, doesn't mean that they have much going on under the hood.  

"The problem is not that people are taxed too little...the problem is that government spends too much." ~President Ronald Reagan

I stopped reading at "...the buzzer is complicated."

And to think these are the people who just elected the teleprompter as President! Small wonder!

Three of the categories for Soledad's appearance were:

1. Black in America
2. Latino in America
3. Black in America II

And she STILL came in last!!

What's with only CNN talking heads being invited? How about including MESSNBC fools like Olberman or Matthews? Then you can show them all up by having someone from Fox, like maybe Bret Baier or Major Garrett, or any of the other intelligent reporters there.

“It is only the warlike power of a civilized people that can give peace to the world.” —1906 Nobel Peace Laureate Theodore Roosevelt

You really don't want propagandists that are smart. Ask the Venezuelan press for details.

Perhaps this accounts for the failure:

Both Wolf and Soledad are liberal and this event was for charity, which means they were in essence attempting to give someone else's money-no doubt a big, evil corporation's-to the needy.  The problem seems to be that the show was hosted by Alex Trebek instead of a socialist bent politician.  If Barney Frank had guest-hosted, things would have been different. 

Surely, no one is surprised she came in third. If there were 100 contestants, she would come in at 100. She is genuinely dumb. That's no act.

No citizen's right to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, or property is safe as long as Obama is President of the United States.

So what you're saying, CNN, is that these idiots hammered on the buzzer before it was active for EVERY question. That tells me two things:

 1) They didn't listen to the directions before the game started. 

2) They didn't learn after the first time. 

For being this dumb, but mostly for the unforgivable sin of being Liberal CNN Obama-lovers, they should each be slapped in the mouth once and then receive 40 lashes.

"They are reporters, not trivia experts. And the buzzer is complicated. It's not activated until Alex [Trebek] finishes the last syllable of the question. If you hit the button too soon, nothing happens."

This is like a football team attributing a loss to poor field conditions - it's the same field the other team played on, doofus.

Let's take it as given and just say that CNN anchors are brilliant but they lack button-pressing skills. Now do they look better, or worse?

Next time have the anchors stay at the Holiday Inn Express.
