Have you seen this new reality show on CNN called \”The Republican Tea Party Debate\”? LOL, the new season is just getting underway, but already I\’m looking forward to seeing who gets voted off the island. The first episode last night was full of groaners and OMGs and gawkable moments … the characters are about as good as any Real World/Survivor crew I\’ve ever seen before. You can already tell Michelle Bachman is gonna be the Omarosa and Rick Santorum the Puck.
The poker-player\’s candidate, Gary Johnson, apparently didn\’t make the cut … but poker did enter into the debate when Mitt Romney challenged Texas Governor Rick Perry\’s record on job creation … essentially calling him a luckbox.
Not quite the \”licensed and regulated online poker\” stuff we mighta hoped for … but hey.
Unfortunately, not only do these two look-a-likes reveal an inherent conservative opposition to \”regulation\” that the Barton Bill will have to overcome, but also they seem to be talking 5-card draw or maybe 7-stud with the four Aces analogy — as if they\’re totally unaware that much of the country is playing Pot-Limit Omaha.
