Education Chief in 'Jeopardy!'
Man, this is just too good to be true. Education Secretary Margaret Spellings finished second on "Celebrity Jeopardy" to one of the guys from Spinal Tap.
Spellings, though, is declaring a moral victory. The winner, actor and writer Michael McKean, has been on the show before, she told AP, so he had and advantage in working the hand buzzer that contestants use to indicate they know the answer to a question. Spellings also got in a little joke at the expense of her boss's father's vice president. "I didn't want to be the education secretary who didn't know how to spell potato," she said.
