Wow, these games are going faster. That’s 3 in one week.

It’s all yours, Spoons.

From the last round:

Cletus Spuckler, the slack-jawed yokel from The Simpsons, who was shown in one episode to have been elected VP: http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100514235151/simpsons/images/d/dd/Cletus.png
Yes, John C. Calhoun.

Way to go, Spoons!

Good grief.

Douglas “Wrong Way” Corrigan filed the above-mentioned flight plan, then flew from New York to Ireland.
Chon Wang (played by Jackie Chan), in Shanghai Noon and Shanghai Knights.
Kitty Carlisle, a regular panelist on To Tell the Truth.

Wow, way to go, Spoons! I was just checking in to see if I could get a question in edgewise…

These are going quickly indeed. Thanks, folks; and a good person to have us guess about, ChockFull!

FTR, the answer to “Were you the whiz kid in the horn-rimmed glasses in a Phil Vassar song?” was Carlene, from the song of the same name.

Might as well keep the alphabet going, so our next letter will be…

D.

IQ: Were you a former Klansman who ran for office in Louisiana?

IQ1: Among many other riveting characters, did you write about the wiles of the Lady Winter?

IQ2: Come to that, are you one of the best known characters from the same novel as the Lady Winter?

IQ3: Are you the illegitimate child of the above author?

I am not David Duke.

I’m not Alexandre Dumas père, nor am I D’Artagnan, nor am I Alexandre Dumas fils.

IQs:

Are you the man without fear?
Are they hanging you in the morning?
Were you a millionaire who taught hand-to-hand combat to the Marines?

For IQ1, I’ll guess Daredevil–at least, that’s what I seem to recall from seeing covers of his comic books–“Daredevil: The Man Without Fear.” Unsure though, so if I’m wrong, take a DQ.

For IQ2, I’m going to guess Tom Dooley. Again, if I’m wrong, take a DQ.

For IQ3, you got me. The only millionaire whom I can think of who did anything remotely like that is Jon Sable, and it’s obviously not going to be him.
