Virginia and New Jersey Elect Governors Totally Lacking Reality-Show 
Experience


VIRGINIA AND NEW JERSEY (The Borowitz Report)-Throwing 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 voters' decision because, 
historically, reality shows have been a reliable proving ground for the 
nation's finest leaders.

Ronna Romney McDaniel, the chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, 
said that the voters' risky bet on two men who had never set foot on a 
reality-show stage showed that the electorate was acting "emotionally and 
not rationally."

"You look at the résumés of these two men and you won't find 'Survivor,' you 
won't find 'Big Brother,' you won't find 'The Bachelor,' " she said. "What 
we have are two individuals who are, to put it mildly, unfit for office."

"This is not normal," she said.

She gave both winning candidates credit for tapping into the angry voters' 
anti-reality-show mood, but she warned, "Once 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."
