On ESPN's "Dream Job," in which contestants compete for a one-year contract as a SportsCenter anchor, two contestants get eliminated every week according to a combination of votes by viewers and 4 judges. In last week's episode, the two worst contestants, by far, were Maggie (a woman) and Chet (a black guy). The viewers and Washington Post columnist Tony Kornheiser voted both of them off the show. Because Chet was so horrendous, 2 of the other judges voted him off, and he was mercifully gone. A black Redskins linebacker who served as the fourth judge somehow found 2 other people to vote off. Clearly, his vote was influenced by some potent combination of racial solidarity and mind-numbing stupidity.
Meanwhile, all the judges but Kornheiser voted a white guy named Nick off instead of Maggie, so poor Nick had to join Chet in elimination. Trust me when I tell you that it is a matter of objective fact that Maggie stunk and Nick was at worst average. And yet this poor guy got screwed out of an opportunity of a lifetime because these PC jackasses just couldn't bear to elminate the one black guy AND the one woman all in the same week. How depressing.
