[LiberalHeart]

NEW YORK (AP) -- "Jeopardy!" ace Ken Jennings says recent comments he posted on his Web site about the long-running game show and host Alex Trebek weren't "bashing." "I know, I know, the old folks love him," Jennings said of Trebek in a July 19 letter titled, "Dear Jeopardy!"

[Deja Q]

1. Who cares if he did or not?

He'd have every right to; and the show is fairly banal anyway.

2. If he was so against it, why didn't he make a statement by withdrawing?

No, instead he took his $2.5 million back to Utah.

3. He was using humor

to poke a little fun..no worries.

[soothsayer]

7. Exactly! The headlines on this are so misleading. Certainly no

one thinks he REALLY thinks Trebek is a robot...!

10. Sean Connery might think so. nt

4. 'jeopardy' admires bush

the crappy little show really respects bush and homeland security and all the rest of it. trebek is supposed to be very smart, but as a bushevik, he's just another fukkin dupe....

5. Trebek is bushvolk?

That's the last time I watch his show.

8. he had tom ridge asking questions last year...

the show just treats bush and the bloody murdering gang as if they're honest statesmen, and trebek etc must know they're just cheap vicious crooks.

6. How is that admiration demonstrated?

9. shee, i wish i'd taken notes....

i only get 2 channels, using rabbit years, and one of them comes in clear....'jeopardy' comes in quite well, and, well i watch it. the pro bush bias in the show is clear after anyone has watched it a few times - they use all repuke talking points whenever questions stray into the area of politics, or its affects; secreteary rumsvelt this and sec of state cindasleezy rice that!.the point here though is that trebek prides himself on his worldly wisdom, yet, he subscribes to obvious nonsense regards the bush admin. and as bush hisself said, 'if ya aint sukking me arse, i'll kill yall' etc suggest trebek is one of them, to all intents/purposes
