That nobody saw the irony in that was HILARIOUS!

]]> <![CDATA[<i>Real Housewives</i>, Especially LuAnn, Embarrass Us All]]> I hope if Luann is on next season that they haven't gotten rid of Rosanna. Not just because she's funny, but also because they suck if they got rid of her for calling them out. Also, I fear for those kids if she isn't around to talk sense to them.

Rosanna is great. She has such an attitude.

And somehow I manage to see them every day. Or hear their children. Never seen a French Au Pair but I have seen a Spanish speaking nanny! Help me. It is never going to end.

I know its hard to tell, we all tend to either clean houses or be gynocologists and have white rice and KFC for lunch.

Fortunately Filipinos like Qbert and Bryanboy and 1,000 prisoners dancing to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" show us that we can have a profound impact on society. Booyah.

Now back to Countess bashing.

nonsmokinggun

]]> <![CDATA[<i>Real Housewives</i>, Especially LuAnn, Embarrass Us All]]> @if_i_only_had_a_heart: Believe it or not, but those who reside in horse country have been known to wear them near the barn. Usually, the wearer of said barncoat is drining a G&T and ordering the stableboy to do a better job of mucking out the stalls.

Those who reside in Jersey, tend to wear them to the mall.

iamrulalenska

]]> <![CDATA[<i>Real Housewives</i>, Especially LuAnn, Embarrass Us All]]> I hate, hate LuAnn too. I ran into her once and she kept telling me how she was a countess in the most obnoxious condescending way. "We are Count and Countess . . ." Her husband was sitting back just letting her do this bullshit. I really want to know what this Suez Canal aristocracy bull is about. Please Richard, try to get the story on when Sir Count Alex's family bought that stupid title. Hate her. All the women on that show were HORRIBLE.

Hortense de Beauharnais

]]> <![CDATA[<i>Real Housewives</i>, Especially LuAnn, Embarrass Us All]]> It says here that the Count is involved in "microfinance," which I understand to mean that he dispatches liveried thugs to beat up desperately poor Bangladeshis. Something to consider: Luann's barncoat was probably paid for with thousands of tiny interest payments.

tempest

]]> <![CDATA[<i>Real Housewives</i>, Especially LuAnn, Embarrass Us All]]> I also naively assumed Rosanna was Mexican (and I am Mexican) but her accent was completely Filipina. Ethnically ambiguous or not, I felt bad for the tiny woman. LuAnn was actually my favorite housewife on episode one but after that I was conflicted. Have to love the breakdancing lessons in her townhouse, though.
