« Michael Moore's Plea to Obama: Don't Do It | Main | Salahis Called to Testify Before House Committee »

There truly is no way that the Salahis were not already cast on 'Real Housewives'; Bravo should just fess up to that. The material was probably so incredibly boring that they knew it would take a major breach of national security to help ensure ratings.
