Help me write my rightwing bootlicker quiz, please

[AmandaRuth]

So many of my friends claim they are independant, but in reality have been so apapthetic and over propogandized, they don't realize they are, in fact, without even knowing it, right wing minions. So, in fun, I thought I would work up a quiz which could gently (or not) point out how the media colors our perception of truth. I have a few questions worked up, I would really apprecite suggestions.

It would be fun to get something going that we could spread all over the internet much like those righwing myth emails which about Ollie North, his security system and Al Gore. (remember that one? My brother sent it to me). Here is what I have so far --

Are your a right wing boot licker? Without ever being aware of it!

Find out now and to what degree! Take this quiz!


1. True or false; Al Gore claimed that he invented the Internet.

2. Newt Gingrich:
a. Who was he boinking at the time he suggested that he would question President Clintons morality at every chance he got, in every public speech, and for extra credit, how old was she and within his inner circle, what did he refer to the Contract With American as?

3. Which one on the following pro war leaders won the bronze star in
Vietnam: Rush Limbaugh, Trent Lott, Kenneth Starr, Elliott Abrams, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Tom DeLay, Newt Gingrich, Karl Rove?

4. You'all know who Monica Lewinski, Paula Jones and what went on the good ship Monkey Business. Now, who was Jennifer Fitzgerald? And for extra bonus points why hasn't her picture been on the front page of the National Inquirer?


5. Vice-President Cheney, receives an annual sales commission of approx $1,000,000 from Halliburton, where he served as CEO from 1995 to 2002. (Answer would be something like WRONG, it is deferred compensation, it only appears that it is a sales commission.)

You get the idea. I plan on working on this until I get it right, with answers and a scoring system and everything. Then I am going to send it to everyone I know and post it all over the place. I am no professional writer so I really would appreciate suggestions, either here or PM. I would like to include something about the right-wing media distracting us while the middle class shrinks and rich get, well richer.

Any suggestions?

George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Al Gore (had to get that in, he won)

25:

George W. Bush's score on the flight aptitude test. The minimum score accepted for qualifying for flight training. One point less, and the application is summarily rejected. Yet even with the lowest possible qualifying score, his application went to the head of the line, ahead of everyone else who scored higher.

25:

The number of American servicemen born on the same day as George W. Bush who died in Vietnam.
