Panel Round One

PETER SAGAL, HOST:

Right now, panel, time for you to answer some questions about this week's news. Faith, Mike Webb is running for Congress in Virginia. This week, he posted a screenshot from his computer 'cause he wanted to share some data with the voters. Well, the screenshot also showed what.

FAITH SALIE: Did he have some porno?

SAGAL: He did.

SALIE: Whoa.

SAGAL: That's what he did.

(SOUNDBITE OF BELL)

SAGAL: So he did - he took this screenshot of this website he wanted to show the voters. But he had these other open tabs, as one does.

PAULA POUNDSTONE: Oh, my gosh.

SALIE: Open tab - that's a nice way of putting it.

POUNDSTONE: Yeah.

SAGAL: Yeah, and...

ADAM FELBER: They could read the tabs.

SAGAL: Although you couldn't see the pictures in that window, you could read the tabs. And the tabs read, quote, "Layla Rivera Tight Booty" and "Ivone Sexy Amateur."

(LAUGHTER)

SAGAL: At least now we can make sense of his recent impassioned speech about barely legal immigrants.

(LAUGHTER)

FELBER: Yeah, it suddenly makes sense, doesn't it?

SAGAL: Yeah. I mean, he'll probably survive this 'cause, you know, we've all been there but...

(LAUGHTER)

SAGAL: Well not me - we.

FELBER: We - it's the imperial we.

SAGAL: Exactly.

FELBER: We are familiar with pornography.

SAGAL: (Laughter) But his rallies are going to be weird now 'cause he's going to jump into the crowd. He's going to want to shake hands and people are like, oh...

SALIE: Oh.

FELBER: Take a pass.

(LAUGHTER)

POUNDSTONE: I want to know about the tight booty one.

FELBER: But I don't know.

(LAUGHTER)

SAGAL: Well, I believe...

POUNDSTONE: OK, wait...

SAGAL: ...The tight booty woman has a website. You can check her out.

POUNDSTONE: So they put their attribute as part of their name? Is that what they do?

FELBER: Probably not.

POUNDSTONE: 'Cause I would be Paula Thick Cottony Brief Poundstone.

(LAUGHTER)

SAGAL: Adam, this week the Iranian government outed an American spy who they say is working tirelessly to corrupt Iran's youth. Who is this master of espionage and disruption?

FELBER: SpongeBob SquarePants.

SAGAL: No, although he would be good at that. But this is - I'll give you another - it is another television star, another very popular television star.

FELBER: Oh, it is?

SALIE: Much more attractive.

SAGAL: She is a known ass-assin (ph).

FELBER: Ass-assin, like a Kim Kardashian?

SAGAL: Like Kim Kardashian. How's that?

FELBER: Yes, I did read about that.

POUNDSTONE: Yeah.

(SOUNDBITE OF BELL)

SAGAL: According to a spokesman for the Revolutionary Guard in Iran, they believe that Kim Kardashian is a foreign agent working...

(LAUGHTER)

SAGAL: ...With Instagram - seriously - to destabilize the country. It makes perfect sense because the best choice for an undercover spy is the most recognized human being in the world.

POUNDSTONE: Well, it is - there is a Trojan horse element to it, I think. And lord knows she's destabilized our country.

SAGAL: That's true. Now she's going to go wreck their country. They accused Ms. Kardashian - and this is 100 percent true - of using glamorous selfies on Instagram to cause young people to abandon their religious principles. That's nuts. How many people...

FELBER: (Laughter).

SAGAL: ...Have looked...

FELBER: You see...

(LAUGHTER)

FELBER: ...That's kind of true because I watch her TV show sometimes and think there is no God.

SAGAL: Exactly.

(APPLAUSE)

SAGAL: Coming up, our panelists celebrate their love for animals. It's our Bluff The Listener game. Call 1-888-WAIT-WAIT to play. We will be back in a minute with more of WAIT WAIT... DON'T TELL ME from NPR. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
