Maybe you didn't notice but McKean was playing for Multiple Sclerosis. "Squiggy", or David Lander, has MS (as do I). He is also a pretty sharp guy.

You do realize that they played characters on the show; not themselves!

Michael McKean is an honors graduate of Carnagie Mellon University. He is a very smart man. I would not be sad to lose to him.

Who's off their meds again?

Just because she's the Secretary of Education doesn't mean she has to be the smartest person in the room. It takes a certain type of smart (as in possessing a wide range of interests and lots of reading) to do well on Jeopardy! Spelling is just a politician, and we all know how smart they are :)

"I think I held my own," Spellings told the Associated Press. McKean might have had an edge, she said, because he had been on the show before. The wisecracks, of course, have begun: • James Joyner at Outside the Beltway says
