We Also Would Have Accepted "It's Like a Freaking Concentration Camp Around Here"

Mushroom CloudHi, and welcome back to the program. I'm here with tonight's champion, Haley Barbour. Haley is the governor of Mississippi and proved to be a formidable foe to our other contestants. He played a great game and picked up $700 in the process. Way to go, Haley!

Now it's time for the bonus round, where you'll have 60 seconds to win a fabulous array of prizes, including a sporty new Chevette and a set of Lee's Press-On Nails. Haley, if you're ready, let's begin.

You're the governor of Mississippi. Your state has been hit hard by what is perhaps the worst storm this country has ever seen. The death toll has hit 100 and is expected to rise. Countless homes have been ruined. The hearts of a nation are with you. For the win: What could you possibly say in this situation to make yourself unlikable?

"It looks like Hiroshima is what it looks like," Gov. Haley Barbour said, describing parts of Harrison County, Miss.

Stop the clock! We have a winner!
