Under the wire: just as we were about to forget about them, the White House party crashers have parlayed their achievement into that most prestigious of honors, a reality show gig on Bravo.

Whatever. If there's one city in America that has no "real housewives" in the archaic sense of the term - Moms who tend the home wearing an apron, making a big pitcher of Kool-Aid for the kids when they come running in the door after school - it's Washington, but the series has never been about "real housewives." Ever. Hence the name, I guess.

This made me wonder:

Emphasis added. So . . . Bravo was in on the crashing from the start? If that's the case, how did the crashing get them a spot? If Bravo was involved, what sort of background check did they do on the people before facilitating the stunt? For all we know North Korea may have been filming "Real Undercover Assassins of D.C." (Now in its 7th season, by the way; one of the Norks' most popular shows.)
