He's a total asshole reich-winger. I hope to never see him on air again.
I was infantry and respect most vets, even REMFs, but not asshole Sajak.

(8,445 posts)I just heard it mentioned on the show that he was a veteran. I'm not happy at all to hear he's not only a Republican, but a very vocal one. I know a lot of people are able to separate politics from entertainment, but I really can't. I always said I'd love to go on Wheel of Fortune, but now I can toss away that thought. Oh well.
