Virginia and New Jersey Elect Governors Totally Lacking Reality-Show Experience
VIRGINIA AND NEW JERSEY (The Borowitz Report)âThrowing caution to the wind, voters in Virginia and New Jersey on Tuesday night overturned the political applecart and chose as their new governors two men with no reality-show experience whatsoever.
Republican officials were staggered by the votersâ decision because, historically, reality shows have been a reliable proving ground for the nationâs finest leaders.
Ronna Romney McDaniel, the chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, said that the votersâ risky bet on two men who had never set foot on a reality-show stage showed that the electorate was acting âemotionally and not rationally.â
âYou look at the rĂ©sumĂ©s of these two men and you wonât find âSurvivor,â you wonât find âBig Brother,â you wonât find âThe Bachelor,â â she said. âWhat we have are two individuals who are, to put it mildly, unfit for office.â
âThis is not normal,â she said.
She gave both winning candidates credit for tapping into the angry votersâ anti-reality-show mood, but she warned, âOnce these two have been in office, I think voters will start longing for someone who had at least won an immunity idol or swallowed a live caterpillar.â
