One of the most familiar categories on the TV game show Jeopardy! is simply called ‘Potpourri.’ Under that heading, contestants find a hodepodge of questions on everything under the sun.

With that in mind, it was hard to resist the urge to yell out, “potpourri for $1000, Alex,” while watching this morning’s online Q&A session featuring Governor Schwarzenegger.

The 20 minute event, where questions sent in to the governor’s official state website were fielded by Schwarzenegger in a live video feed, broke no news. There were eight questions taken, chosen by TV political reporter Marcey Brightwell who served as moderator.

Schwarzenegger was asked about the high number of sex offenders living in Redding, and the low number of game wardens on the beat throughout the state. Both questions elicited only general responses. He was also asked about why he had taken such a turn to the right-hand side of the political spectrum in 2005, a suggestion he refuted. While saying he knew he had rushed last year’s ballot initiatives, he didn’t disown them. “The ideas of the reform,” he said, “was really good.”

The governor also fielded a question about bringing down high gas prices. He reiterated his interest in a full investigation. But more interesting was Brightwell’s follow-up question, which asked if he still drives his Hummer. The governor answered by saying the CHP now drives him around, though he did admit to taking the occasional spin in his Excalibur (a pricey sports car) and his Mercedes Benz G-Wagon.

And it wrapped up with the touchy feely questions: memorable moments as governor, and the “if you were a color, what would you be?” question (I’m not kidding, that was the final question). Schwarzenegger reminiscenced about the 2003 recall campaign as memorable. And the color?

“Probably red,” he said. Red, as in GOP red state? Nope. “I see myself as always being on fire” and “charged up,” he said.

And that rounds out the questions under ‘Potpourri’ on this edition of Jeopardy!
