Washington is all the rage these days! What with the politics and all. MTV's Real World series might be heading down that way, and Newsweek did that DC-set Hills parody. Well now Bravo's following suit. With—yes you guessed it because, really, what else?—an upcoming installment of Real Housewives.

Sigh. Yep. A press release went out today, describing the horrible lady reality show as such:

A place for power and politics, Bravo is scouting the D.C. area to identify the city's alluring and discriminating residents, those women who have their pulse on the most important cultural events, political galas, gallery openings and fundraisers in Washington society. These leading members of D.C. society are in the know and comfortable discussing everything from the economy to high fashion. They are the talk of the town in the most powerful city in the world.

So basically politics are hot right now, and, with Obama, sort of slightly unruined from all the ruining years past, but now reality TV wants in to ruin it all over again, this time for good. The Housewives will destroy and take over, and what can you do.

We, for one, welcome our new Botox'd overlords.
