The Real World: Orlando

So last night I turned to this season's best new reality show, Fox News' GOP Presidential Debate. Love these - once a week 8 rich white guys who all kinda look alike stand onstage and desperately try to invoke Ronald Reagan while explaining that no human should ever, ever have to pay taxes for anythin ever again. There's the 9/11 guy, there's the doddering old actor guy, there's the chiseled Mormon and then there's the guy who looks like his head was paper-mached...were he not been born before paper had been invented. Get these guys together in a room with a few other rich white guys and BAM!!...hijinks ensue!

Last night's episode had two subplots going on. The first one was apparently the guys have decided that in referencing the opposiiton's party they should use the "Democrat Party" instead of "Democratic Party." I guess the show's producers stepped in and reminded the cast members that "Democratic" might remind viewers too much of "democracy", so by chopping the word a bit they will level the playing field. Very clever. Hey, this is the same group of people that chopped up the word "freedom" down to "free" when detailing how much liberating Iraq would cost, so obviously they know what they're doing.

Also, apparently there was an added twist and Hillary Clinton was in the building. This is brilliant, just like bringing in a cast member's boyfriend on "The Real World." Bring it on, girlfriend! Though I don't recall actually SEEING her, she must've been there cause every single cast member took time out of every question they answered to talk about her. They seemed less worried about distinguishing themselves from each other and more about denigrating Hillary, so I assume she had met them all in the green room and took the last jelly doughtnut, or someone overheard her in the confessional room trashing the cast members. Anyways, was a great twist that made the show fly by.

Looking forward to next week - I'm told there will be a house meeting about how the Mormon guy has been married 4 fewer times than the 9/11 guy and the "Law and Order" guy AND my Xmastime Spidey-sense in tingling re: a big fistfight over who loves the unborn fetus more. Can't wait!!!
