134. I never would have figured Pat Sajak for a right winger.

Because he always truly seems like such a nice guy and very witty. When I learned Tom Selleck was one, however long ago that was.... 15, 20 years ago... that was also a shock. Same goes for Kelsey Grammer. I know you pretty much only see Sajak on his show and in no other context, but I always liked him. I heard I guess a few years back that he was a repuke and just thought, 'what a waste!'. Apparently, Alex Trebek is a right winger too. Must be something in the water with Merv Griffin game show hosts. This stuff about 'unpatriotic racists' is just flat out bizarre and makes absolutely no sense. Sajak obviously has some latent seething bitterness in his soul about something or other and for whatever reason he's taking it out on people who believe in climate science.
