Back-peddling Ken Jennings and his faux mea culpa

What is “go pound sand?”

What is “Your past comes back to bite you on your ass?” I’m guessing Jeopardy’s biggest winner (and ResistanceLOL hero) Ken Jennings could get that question right.

After Jeopardy launched this Keebler elf to celebrity status, Ken Jennings decided he was free to tell Jeopardy’s core audience what a bunch of backward dummies they were.

And he did – frequently. Jennings made a cottage industry out of lampooning and insulting them with wild abandon on Twitter.

Nobody was off limits for Ken Jennings. No sir. He even targeted then-eleven-year-old Barron Trump after Kathy Griffin’s disgusting severed head stunt.

But then Alex Trebek died. Now Ken Jennings is thirsty as hell to take his place as host of Jeopardy.

And his years of nastiness are coming back to bite him on the ass.

So Ken is back-peddling harder than Kamala Harris.

Jennings took to Twitter yesterday afternoon to issue a multi-tweet mea culpa  — apologizing for being an asshole to the very people who have kept Jeopardy on the air for generations.

Now that he needs the support of those gap-toothed rubes he delighted in mocking, Ken has decided that if 2020 “has taught us anything, it’s that we should be kinder to one another.  I look forward to heading into 2021 with that in mind.”

What are “ulterior motives?”

Sorry, Ken. No sale.

The only thing 2020 taught you is never shit where you plan to eat.

What is “go pound sand?”

What kind of moron would believe Ken’s faux mea culpa anyway?

Okay, maybe Kamala Harris.

And probably Elizabeth Warren.

But even they wouldn’t truly believe Ken Jennings is sincere in his regret. It’s just that both of them know what it’s like to suddenly need to appeal to people they’ve disrespected for years.

What is “watching your hopes of being a household name go down the tubes?”
