Eugene David<br>...The One-Minute Pundit

We wish we had thought of this: the idea of TV news hacks covering the First Family as a reality show would be perfect for an industry that gives us the surface of the surface. Arguably they're already doing it so why not go all the way? Of course there'd be a fight a la SLIME vs. the TWXSTERS on Watchmen as to who'd control the vast, juicy profits, but once they solved that with floating emcees (ANDERSON one night, maybe KEITH the next) and everybody sticking those cameras and microphones into everybody's photogenic faces they'd do swell. And the "over-the-air" networks could join in and claim still more time from expensive troublesome scripted shows; their denture-adhesive shillers would make good Ed McMahons too. But as to the notion that "the reporters who accompany him now could stay home and do some real reporting for a change", since so many would be full-time helping run a reality show, who would those be?

And FOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NEWS could throw a tantrum at not being invited and get big ratings just yelling at itself. This would be perfect!
