Host: Good evening! We have five categories for tonight’s game, they are:

Newspaper scandals

Famous know- it -alls
And of course, Potpourri.

Before we get started, let’s meet our three contestants

First, our returning champion, Thomas Friedman, a best selling author and New York Times columnist.

Our two challengers are Betty Newman, a single mother of three from Melvindale, Michigan who just completed her GED. Good job Betty! Welcome to the show.

And Emile Schmenkie, a retiree from Chicago, Illinois, who’s described by his wife as a half wit.

Good luck Emile.

That was great! I love the facts that remain hidden from the publics eye because of people like Friedman. If only everybody knew the truth.

[suckstobeyou]

hehhehe butthead

[grumbles]

It was almost funny.

























Okay I lied, it wasn't.

The Japanese don't invent much of anything. They take other inventions and ideas and refine and market them. Not a knock against them, just the truth.

[ChevroletRevived]

We can surely count on you grumbles for posts like that! We NEED more stuff like this.

Vines rocks! This is also the guy who slammed the greedy Big Oil ****************************s a while back. GM needs to hire this guy!

[Ultra Magnus]

THAT WAS FUNNY! I like how he got the big 3 in on all of the fun.

[rsbaker]

The US Auto industry has to fight back and this is one good way to do it. I can't wait to see if Friedman responds.

[lightbrotha2004]

I liked that little thing. Then reading the comments on the other page I can just wonder what it would be like if they posted here.

[CobaltSScrazy]

LMAO, now thats funny, put that on comedy central, come on dane cook, instead of hitting on all the pillars of americanism, lets pick fun at the rest of the world and our liberal media (who love to slam this great country).

[ChevroletRevived]

''(Who love to slam this great country)''. Ah yes, they do love to slam us. And what a great country it is.

[56 Starchief]

seems like DaimlerChrysler has some feelings for GM.

good. get all the domestics and Germans to battle that sleeze they call Toyota
