Extreme Trivia #32
September 27, 2006 at 3:37 pm
First, the answer to last week’s question. Hillary Clinton has a specific political connection to Texas politics, from before she was First Lady. What’s the connection?
Peter Roff correctly said: She followed Bill to Texas in 1972 — where she headed up the voter registration drive for McGovern (at the request of Anne Wexler).
Now, the next Extreme Trivia question. A decade earlier than the McGovern campaign … The famous “Daisy” ad that President Johnson used a single time to demolish Barry Goldwater during the 1964 presidential campaign … The innocent little girl picking petals off the daisy right before the countdown that gets her nuked by the Commies — and why the Commies would have counted down in English with a southen accent I still quite understand. Be that as it may, here’s the question: What was the precise sequence of numbers the cute lil’ girl used? (Hint: It wasn’t 1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…9…10).
