Don’t know who this is–DQ.

This was Rupert Murdoch, too (his killer robots were chasing The Simpsons, of course). Dead Cat also asked a Murdoch question - do I still get a DQ?

IQ: Did you lead a Southern state in the past 20 years?

Did you create a beloved Christmas character?

Did you gain some fame for your adventures with Tinkerbelle?

I was even expecting Rupert Murdoch (and Ricardo Montalban, for that matter), but you guys got me with the way you asked the questions. Let’s stick with one DQ per name, but I’ll give you one for the southern governor.

Boy, I’m just blanking out all over the place today. 2 DQs for you.

Do you keep getting beat up for trying to steal Moose’s girlfriend from him?

That must be Reggie Mantle. I’m not him.

Robert Mugabe, with the hyperinflation in Zimbabwe.

DQ: Are you american (USAian)?

Were you a Prime Minister of a Commonwealth country?

Did you play a paramedic on TV before playing a paramedic on TV was cool?

That’s cool. It’s Ronnie Musgrove, former governor of Mississippi, now running for the U.S. Senate there.

DQ: Were you a politician or statesman?

Robert May created Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, while Robert Manry sailed a tiny boat (which I’ve seen on display) named Tinkerbelle across the Atlantic.

DQ’s:

Were you an industrialist?

Were you an author?

IQ:

Are you a fictional Wisconsin redhead of the 1950’s?

Edited to change politician inquiry which was made repetitive as a result of a simulpost.

I am not Randolph Mantooth. I’ll give you a DQ for the PM.

Don’t know, DQ for you.

Well Great Britain is a Commonwealth country, right? So Ramsay McDonald technically fits the bill. (Although if you think it was cheesy, I’ll forego the DQ - I thought Ramsay was Canadian when I posed the question…)

DQ - Was your company a media company? (If you think the IQ was valid.)

No.

Were you Britain’s Home Secretary, and the butt of a lot of Monty Python jokes?

Did you meet your comedy partner at a Canadian strip club owned by his Dad?
