I remember when this tool hosted a late-night television talk show which aired on CBS from January 9, 1989 to April 13, 1990. Rush Limbaugh guest hosted the show. Two tools too many. The little prick makes 8 mil a year for abusing the language.
He’s a trolling ass and this isn’t the first time:
Or how about when he came out on Twitter:

Damn the career consequences! I’m hereby proclaiming my heterosexuality!

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I don’t much like being called unpatriotic or racist. If he just wants people to know he doesn’t believe in global warming, it’s his prerogative to be a moron.
I suppose one could make a case that the pain and cost of any effective action to slow down climate change will fall hardest on peoples of color in developing nations (as things in general tend to do) – telling them, in effect, “The world cannot afford your industrialization! Ours already has wrung it dry!”
But, somehow, I don’t think that’s the case they have in mind.
Presumably, he means racist against straight people.
Wow, he’s aged very well. Other than the fivehead.
If his viewpoints begin having some kind of widespread impact *a la *Jenny McCarthy, maybe then I’ll care. But he’s good at his job. I’m not going to boycott Wheel of Fortune. And I’m tired of all the political divisiveness in this country. It’s only with the advent of the internet in the last 15 years that anyone started to care about this petty shit.
There are no clues left. Spin or solve.
What Sajak thinks or says might be petty shit, but climate change ain’t.
He has 54,000 followers on Twitter. How about you?
Vanna White?
He can probably fit everything in 140 characters if his readers have to buy the vowels.
Chuck Woolery has 84,500.
TIL that Sajak’s a jackass.
Or he just means they annoy him.
He’s just trolling you.
You know, rather than trying to get Dopers on Jeopardy, we should get some on WoF, so we could have him banned for trolling…
I discovered the guy was right-wing when I stumbled on an interview on some conservative talk show with a deceptive name that I can’t remember. Think if FOX News was actually named “Fair and Balanced News.” He came off a little trollish in that interview, but nothing like this.
Dude is just starved for attention. He’s an actually witty guy hosting a pretty much witless TV Show. He found Twitter and discovered that controversy could get him in the news. Plus he no longer cares what it does to his career or his life.
I seriously doubt all of those people are following him because of his politics. Most probably started following him because they were fans of WoF.
Oh, and as for me, I have 2,253 people who follow me because they’re interested in what I have to say, not because I’m a celebrity of any sort.
I’m kinda a sadist, I know a paranoid, I’ll buy him Twitter.
Perhaps Pat has just been under too much stress to think rationally. I understand his friend and long time co-host Vanna White has been hospitalized with a vowel obstruction.
