Spoiler alert: In the final episode of “Mad Men,” there is no reference at all to ScuttleButton puzzles or the delight that some people get in solving them week after week. I’m probably going to stop watching.
How to Play
ScuttleButton, as you may know, is that weekly waste-of-time exercise where we post a vertical sequence of campaign buttons. Your job is to take one word (or concept) per button and add ’em up to arrive at a famous name or familiar expression. Guess the correct phrase and you could be the proud winner of the coveted Political Junkie button!
Enter your submission using the convenient submission form below, or email your submission to scuttlebutton@krpoliticaljunkie.com. You must include your name and city/state to be eligible.
Show/Hide This Week's ScuttleButton Answer
J C photo Jimmy Carter) Can Save America — Elected president in 1976.
No More Years — An anti-Nixon button during the Watergate scandal, in response to the Nixon campaign’s “Four More Years” slogan from 1972.
Boll Weevil (with the flag of Texas) — Referring to conservative Democrats in the Lone Star State, circa 1970s-’80s.
So, when you combine C + No + Weevil, you kinda get …
See No Evil. Part of the “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” trilogy. Or, alternatively, the title of a song by “Television.”
Either way, the randomly-selected winner is Barbara Jones of Royal Oak, Mich. Barbara gets the coveted Political Junkie button.
