The Name Game: Answers


Documentation and scoring for The Name Game.

Thanks for taking the Fox Haters Challenge! The correct responses:

01. Slimy
  • Sean Hannity

02. Pudgy-faced, middle-aged
  • Bill-O'Reilly

03. Smarmy
  • Chris Wallace

04. Inane bubble-brain
  • E.D. Hill

05. Middle-aged, balding
  • Gary B Smith

06. Giggling eye candy
  • Juliet Huddy

07. Pasty-faced bully
  • Gregg Jarrett

08. Oily
  • Bill O'Reilly

09. Smarmy sophomoric jerk
  • John Gibson

10. 60-something pokerfaced curmudgeon
  • Michael Barone

Bonus: Baby-faced [trick question: you must have chosen all four to receive credit]

Your score:

Under 40 points: Either you are blissfully unaware of Fox haters' gibberish, or you haven't reached their exalted heights of intellectual probity, where rampant juvenile name-calling reigns. Count yourself lucky.

40 to 80 points: You show genuine insight into the demented ravings of the anti-Fox terriers. Consider your incorrect responses as reassurance: the inability to completely interlock with unstable minds is an excellent indicator of mental health.

Over 80 points: Your synchronization with the rabid newspooches is troubling. You assignment is a steady diet of The O'Reilly Factor, Fox News Live, and Studio B. Extra credit: watch and rewatch Julie and the Leg Lamp.

40 points + extra credit + extra credit = 60 points
 
I could have sworn that they described Charles Krauthammer as "giggling eye candy" a few times.

Something fishy here, FF. How did you get extra credit TWICE?

I watched and rewatched Julie fondle the leg lamp at 4 times, that's 2X extra credit.

Hey, that extra credit comes AFTER your final score! No cheating allowed. Now for your punishment, you have to watch the leg lamp three more times!

Real punishment would be MSNBC.

Ten point bonus for leaving out insults spewed by Bill O'Reilly against his political opponents, including asking Al Queda to kill the citizens of San Francisco. Haven't seen anyone at Media Matters or Newshounds ask for the Fox New Headquarters in New York to be bombed yet.
 
Let me know when they do.

1. What does that have to do with newshounds' juvenile insults?
 
2. Bill O' was speaking sarcastically. If he wasn't he'd be fired.

Well, doesn't that make you special! I just always thought it was unhealthy and really needed the superior mind of a liberal to inform me otherwise. Now, I can go on and live a happy life.

I really don't understand why they gang up on Gregg Jarrett so much, I mean relatively speaking he is hardly ever on air (obviously he's on more now that people are on holiday vacations) but I saw someone comment there that he was "one of the most dangerous people on TV." What the??? I've been a fan of Gregg's since he was on Court TV way back when and he was the reason I stuck with MSNBC as long as I did. His reporting hasn't changed one bit in the past 13+ years that I've been watching him, yet all of a sudden he is this horrible threat to life as we know it??

Uh Oh, looky looky, bringing Brent Bozell and Bob Zelnick to debate something, and gave Mark Steyn most of the talking time. Two conservatives.

Brent Bozell, Bob Zelnick, and Mark Steyn. Didn't see them in the name game, are you sure you're posting in the right place?
 
The newshounds have an OT forum, you should look there for sympathy/empathy if that's what you are seeking.
