Noted game show host...Pat Sajak, recently tweeted that, in his opinion, "global warming alarmists are unpatriotic racists."
As opposed to patriotic racists?
Pat said this on Twitter so, Federally limited by oppressive law to 140 characters, he didn't expound on the racist aspect of climate change. Perhaps he passed out before completing that portion of the puzzle? Aside from both Neil deGrasse Tyson and our president both being black and vocal about climate, I can't fathom how he finds race as a part of the global warming discussion. I probably just did reveal the reason but, that's just so far beyond idiocy, I won't pursue it further.
Suffice to say, Pat is several vowels and consonants short of solving the puzzle of his own tweets.
I have to admit that when I used to enjoy the show, back in the 20th century, I though Pat was a very personable guy and I really did think he should have his own talk show. When someone in Hollywood agreed with me, we both realized how wrong we were. I think that the show was cancelled in a couple of weeks. Wiki barely mentioned the show. He lost his day job on Wheel but went on to do the syndicated version and no doubt, he makes millions of dollars doing it still.
Being rich, naturally he's a conservative. Everyone is a conservative until they make that first hundred thousand and then they become experts on fucking poor people so that they might lessen their own tax burden. These days, the majority of conservatives don't make anywhere near $100k per year so that is why we're hearing about guns and Bibles more than tax rates. The reality of taxes is that the codes are written by folks that make more than Sajak's millions (Congressmen and ALEC) and if they pay at all, they don't miss it. Between the laws and good accountants, they are in no serious danger of getting hurt.The notion of *saving* taxpayer dollars by cutting welfare and such is never going to cut YOUR taxes. Not ever. Name a business with (or without) a board of directors (the Federal government and Congress) that wants to take in less money. Try it. Business doesn't work that way on purpose.
Wiki also told me that, in April of this year, Sajak also used Twitter to come out as a heterosexual so, yeah, he's a conservative. Interesting though, conservatives believe homosexuality is a choice. So, prior to April 18th of this year, what was Mr. Sajak's sexual preference? Was he not sure? Experimenting? Wondering if there was a "Q" and what was it for? Maybe he's just not that witty as he was in the last century.
He might believe like someone noted recently as they thought of pitching a movie about climate change, that global warming was a conspiracy by 97% of earth's scientists to destroy capitalism and the only thing standing in their way was a plucky band of billionaires. And one game show host who tweets.

Excellent post but I especially love the last paragraph!
Sajak wants to feel relevant and he knows that making outlandish, baggerish comments will get him noticed. Vanna must not be doing it for him anymore.
We're used to seeing assholes like him labeling people or their actions "unpatriotic", especially when they have no valid argument to the contrary, but "racist" really is odd. I can't wait to hear his explanation. It should be a D-O-O-Z-Y.
You're right. He seemed to be trying waaaaay too hard to be provocative. When I read about the coming out as heterosexual tweet, that really cinched it. Adding racism to global warming shows the tweeter is a twit.
Eeww, never figured, but I don't watch that show anyway. Their demographic range is old fogie, comatose, or zombie. The conservatives are always amusing, though.
It was OK back in the day when I was tending bar and the afterwork crowd enjoyed competing to see who could solve the puzzles the quickest but, I lost interest in it back in the last century. I knew he was a con, I just didn't know he was a D I C K and so S T U P I D about it.
I've been using the captcha for months now. Pay attention!!
Maybe if Vanna taps him on his head he'll rephrase his statement in the form of a question! OK, that's mixing game shows which we all know is unpatriotic!
Or, he'll choose Door #3....
