Reality show wannabes gone wild


A New York Times headline asks the question "What Do You Want to Hear Obama Say?" Ostensibly, the question is about his expected plans for the War in Afghanistan. What we REALLY want to hear though is that President Obama is sending Michaele and Tareq Salahi abroad to star in their brand new reality series "Survivor: Afghanistan." They've made themselves darlings of the talk show circuit after upstaging the Prime Minister of India at an official state dinner, to which they invited themselves. But don't call them party crashers. Instead, call them defendants. It seems a lot of people want a piece of these two. As recognition hunger expands to all points thanks to cable TV's need for content, expect things to get much worse before they get better. One can bet though that this is one couple that's going to get voted on the island -- as long as that island is Cuba.
