Reality TV affects us in serious and insidious ways….

So, I’m not the only one who thought the campaign had that American Idol quality. Quo vadis, America?

I remember a while ago (maybe for this election) there was talk of an American Idol type show to get an candidate on the ballot. Would have been interesting to watch. Maybe.

Akenta,

That was a movie with Hugh Grant and Dennis Quaid called “American Dreamz”. Worth renting.

Akenta, the outcome would have been better than the REAL election.

Really Gweedo? I could have sworn i saw someone eating a rotten egg for $50k, Trump getting his @$$ kissed for a job, and tons of geeks hitting on some supermodels the other day.

NipponKid-whatever drug you’re on to produce those dreams, I want some. (watch out for binjo ditches!)

Better they vet the candidates by having them go on Jeopardy.

Great idea, wndrwrthg! I’ll take Foreign Policy for $300, Alex.

I sure did, Susan. Then there was a recent State of the Union comic where Obama has a nightmare about making Palin his vice president…

John McCain did win on “Jeopardy!” back in 1965.

Gosh, it’s like that idiot you always see on reality TV come to life. Wait, is that the actual dictionary definition of Sarah Palin?

Too bad Garry believes everything he reads in liberal papers. Now it comes out that the negative reports from the papers were fabricated.
