The Seven Best Reality TV Shows Mitt Romney Could Make


Nov 12, 2012 4:45 AM EST

Move over, Honey Boo Boo. Fresh off his stunning defeat, Romney needs image rehab fast. Matt Latimer on the seven best shows Mittens could make.

(1) Bain Capital Theater. Everyone knows that Mitt Romney is the reincarnation of Ronald Reagan (except for the winning the presidency in a landslide part). Well, before Reagan became president, he hosted a wildly successful show called General Electric Theater, which every week aired a play, a film, or an adaptation of a short story.

Hosted by Romney, Bain Capital Theater would have a similar format. First episode: “The 47 Percent,” a horror film about a pack of freeloading veterans, senior citizens, and student-loan recipients setting yachts on fire, ordering the wrong wine with dinner, and wearing white after Labor Day.

(2) Etch a Sketch America. This is a reality series in which Romney and Karl Rove use their patented polling technology to debunk what we only think we know about American history.

With every week comes a new revelation: the San Francisco Giants didn’t actually win the World Series ... John McCain is the current president of the United States ... Vietnam surrendered to the United States ... and for sweeps week, the girl Karl asked out in high school actually did want to go with him to the prom.

(3) The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. The universally beloved Ann Romney and her book club meet every week to discuss quilting, gardening, and their menfolk while sitting around a giant loom. Things get wild when one of Ann’s children brings home a “disco” record for the phonograph, and Ann decides to play it. You’ll never listen to Pat Boone the same way again.

(4) Binders of Women, or The View—Romney style. Each week Romney pulls a name from his magical binder and brings that woman onto his program so that she can show America how valued she is as a member of our society. Romney personally presents each woman with a brand-new silk apron, teaches her to make an omelet the way he likes it, and politely listens to her cute opinions. On several episodes, Paul Ryan makes an appearance, so the women can watch him as he lifts weights and finds increasingly convoluted ways to show off his abs.
