DUers vs freepers reality tv show
http://drudgereport.com/flash3.htm



Reality television has generated American idols, top models and business apprentices. Now, some political types are hoping that a Washington D.C.-based reality show can deliver the next great political consultant!

The WASHINGTON POST reports on Thursday: A proposed eight-part series titled ``Red/Blue,'' which its creators aim to get on the air next summer, places 12 or 14 aspiring political consultants _ divided into two teams of liberals and conservatives _ inside a Georgetown townhouse that's wired with cameras and microphones a la ``Real World'' and ``Big Brother.''

6. Seriously, were Crossfires ratings bad?
Edited on Thu Jul-21-05 05:37 PM by Ksec
Just wondering if it were ratings that caused its demise or just a right winger that thought the left was looking a little too good

8. About 600,000 thousand people watched it - It's a fair amount for a
daytime news show. I think it got cancelled because it was just getting so evil and mean-spirited, and after Jon Stewart appeared and called them out CNN re-thought the issue. I hated that show - it made my blood boil

7. Well, hell, the Blue folks better get
their rooms checked out for bugs and wear bulletproof vests and never be caught alone with the criminally-minded Repukes.

They'll do ANYTHING to win! Pro-fucking life my ASS!

9. Oh lord, more of that "Red/Blue" bullcrap.
It won't fly, sane Americans are tired of being torn in half with that malarkey.

We want desperately to get to the heart of the matters at hand, not watch budding political bullshitters trying to out-do each other with their talent for...bullshit.

My eyes are glazing over at the very thought.
