I have an idea about how to change that. Americans love reality TV shows. Let's do one on Fox News about a bunch of Americans living in Iraq. Such a show would increase your ratings while spreading the word about how much the average Iraqi loves the occupation. Furthermore, if it's a hit, it will probably draw viewers to your other programing where they'll hear the same message again.

I'm thinking that we put some of the conservative movement's best communicators in a house in Falluja for a month, people like Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly and Peggy Noonan. I'm picturing the house as being painted to look like a big American flag with a nice green lawn and a lawn jockey out front. No fences, no guards--just you're average suburban home, but with cameras everywhere.

We could call it something like "Occupied Territory" or "Preemption House." Viewers could watch the housemates as they interact with the people in their neighborhood. They could see Ahmad and Maha joke with Bill and Peggy over a nice breakfast of ham and eggs. They could go door to door with Coulter and Hannity and listen to them explain how the Koran is for girly-men. They could follow Rush as he looks for an English speaking pharmacist.

3. Production

First, they would go out and hire a bunch of actors and pretend they were real.

Second, they would stage all kinds of phony scenarios for their "reality TV".

The "players" will all bring a special quality to the group. As soon as they arrive, they will try to gobble up all the resources for themselves to try to seem indispensable.

Then they would pit their "reality" contestants against one another and out them. They will start spreading false rumors against one another.

Then some of the "players" will be evicted from the White House. Those that are turned out of the group will give lengthy interviews.


Those who remain will say the evicted are being spiteful.

Then, ...... Um .....


Wait, thats exactly whats happened in Washington. Its lovely to know that the White House is roughly based on Survivor.
