Is it really the place for a game show to take sides in a political debate?

The folks at Family Feud certainly think so, for some genius actually decided to send a tweet to the show's Twitter followers Saturday which read "@SpeakerBoehner, stop letting extremists sabotage our economy. End the #TeaPartyShutdown now. Speaker Boehner don't let Cruz run the US":

.@SpeakerBoehner, stop letting extremists sabotage our economy. End the #TeaPartyShutdown now. Speaker Boehner don't let Cruz run the US.

This led the Wheel of Fortune's Pat Sajak to reply:

Surprised by political tweet from #FamilyFeud. Last political tweet from "Wheel" was, "I Like Ike."
