New Fox Reality TV show: Rove At Guantanamo!
When a high-level political operative commits an act of treason by revealing the name of a CIA undercover agent, he's declared an enemy combatant, and hilarity ensues! Watch Rove struggle to survive in the tough and gritty world of Camp X-Ray! The pilot episode includes a smorgasbord of goodies:

* Rove discovers his cell phone won't work from Guantanamo Bay, and tries in vain to convince the authorities to let him make a phone call! "What, you mean I can't even call my lawyer? My family? Domino's Pizza? *Nothing?*" "Mr. Rove, what part of 'disappeared' do you not understand?"

* A desperate Rove struggles to persuade a team of tazer-wielding CIA agents that he has no ties to Al-Qaeda. "Oh really?" *bzzt!* "Then how come you go all twitchy and frothy like that whenever I say 'Osama'?" *bzzt!*

* Finally breaking, Rove cries out, "I'm an American citizen! I have rights!" only to be met by gales of derisive laughter.

Tune in next week for the special Cafe X-Ray episode, as Rove struggles with Guantanamo's inimitable version of haute cuisine! "More Freedom Slugs, Mr. Rove?"

How you do YOU like it, punk,

1. I don't normally watch "reality" shows.
but I'd make an exception for this.

Could we possibly include elements of "Fear Factor"?

2. No, too weak on the characterization.
We need a stronger cast around Rove -- maybe his buddies Dick & Dubya.
