Politics & Poker

If this were my show and I read the review for "Excruciating" I might literally cry. On the other hand, it would also serve as staunch wake-up call on the truth, for this same said reviewer is one hundred percent accurate! Thanks so much for your review! It puts me in mind of the shallow gene pool that green-lit Whitney & Charlies Angels certain that women would watch drivel {& men will watch hotties} just because there are women {and hotties} cast in the lead, as surely as women would probably vote for Sara Palin SIMPLY because she's a woman. Which is more offensive to "critical" thinkers; That which currently passes for entertainment, or the life threatening game of American politics?

When you promote a show that promises "today's most relevant actors, comedians, politicians, and pundits" playing poker and talking politics you have do better than a key grip, a gaffer and two video store clerks. I didn't recognize a single name or face on the program.
The poker that this motley crew of low-level Gander Mountain employees play is absolutely abhorrent and the political discourse is laughable... I suppose if the network this is slated to air on aims at the half-wit, Glenn Beck watching "Birthers", perhaps they will be able to sit through more than half the episode without getting a headache and puking on their shoes.
If that is not awful enough, they toss in some inexplicable "sketch comedy" based around the hosts "fake wife" who breaks out jokes about washing underwear and home maintenance (it honestly made me cringe and turn away).
If you enjoy the game of poker, intelligent philosophical and thoughtful conversation or have the ability to think critically... Avoid this show at all costs... It made me nauseous and caused me to weep uncontrollably for the poor, unwitting folks who may sit through this steaming pile of excrement in the future.
