Even though this debate is being broadcast on FOX...
I'm not sure what exactly to make of this, but Showtime will be airing a new program this summer called American Candidate. Basically, anyone 18 or older who wants to be a participant can apply on their website until April 9th. Twelve finalists will be selected and given a campaign budget and website. They will then be voted out of the contest, presumably by a panel of experts and viewers.

The number two spot on this ticket will then, reports indicate, be selected in a horse rectum eating contest to be broadcast on NBC's Fear Factor.

Who's on the panel? Robert Novak would make a great Simon Cowell. Or, sticking with the British angle, how about Hitchens?

Novak's a good choice, but I think Hitchens is over everybody's head, including mine. My dream panel would be: Chris Matthews as the loud obnoxious guy, Peggy Noonan (or Dee Dee Myers) as the girl, Dick Gephardt as the failed candidate, and Fox Sports personality Jillian Barbarie as the wild card.

This should be how the REAL veep is chosen.

Generally, you would have someone from one of your network's shows be the idiot judge. My vote: Hal Sparks from "Queer as Folk." People already know and love him from "I Love the 80s" and its sequel.

American Candidate. For those people too young, too old, or just plain missed the submission deadline for HBO's presumably more serious "Candidate 2012."

We already have a reality show to judge who's running for president. It's called news.

Not to worry. You can have the complete first season of C-SPAN on DVD if you're craving that reality legislation.
