Opinion: 'Real Housewives of D.C.' flopped. It needed George and Kellyanne Conway, AlyssaRosenberg writes.
Counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway and her husband, attorney George Conway, arrive at an event on the eve of Donald Trump's presidential inauguration, in Washington on Jan. 19, 2017. By Alyssa Rosenberg Alyssa Rosenberg Opinion writer covering culture Email Bio Follow Opinion writer March 21 at 2:09 PM When Bravo launched “The Real Housewives of D.C.” in 2010, the results were almost immediately disastrous, though not in the way that makes for great reality TV.
Trump’s central innovation as maestro of the reality-television spectacle that Washington has become is to make it perfectly acceptable for prominent people in the nation’s capital to behave like lunatics. While the Salahis’ grasping contrasted poorly with the Obamas’ poise and style, casting a tacky shadow over “The Real Housewives of D.C.
Their bizarre tango has, in classic reality-television fashion, taken a screwball dynamic like the one between between political consultants James Carville and his wife, Mary Matalin, who previously set the standard for political feuds as marital schtick, and turned it into something raw, toxic and maybe a little bit contrived. The president himself got into the act this week, tweeting that George is a “husband from hell” bent on undermining his wife.
Trump’s sharp eye for reality-television casting extends to men, as well as to women. In short-lived White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci, Trump flirted with the Italian American stereotypes that have defined “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.” In the ignoble tradition of using reality television for a career makeover, Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, seems to be using his time in the Trump administration to attempt to recast himself as a sophisticated diplomat.
