(I posted this in the Lounge in October, but I wanted to say it again.)
I think that somewhere someone dreamed up a bad reality show and made all of the nation its stars. The premise is simple: take the dumbest fuck you can find and make him president. Hire a staff of writers to dream up the absolute worst responses he could theoretically make to any crisis. To fight terrorism, for instance, have him pull back all monitoring of terrorists in America. When someone attacks the US, have him flee like a coward. Have him let the murderer who attacked us go free and invade another nation for no reason. Appoint personal friends with no experience to run FEMA, Homeland Security, and every other cabinet branch. When someone screws up, promote them. When they succeed, fire them. When they expose you, lie about them. When openings occur on the Supreme Court, find the least qualified, most partisan jackasses to appoint.
Then sit back and see how long it takes for the average person to catch on to the joke.
I bet they never thought the show would run this long, though. They've got damn good writers, you have to admit.
