Pop Culture and Politics - Real Housewives DC

In the recent debut of the Real Housewives of DC, we are nothing shy of how the blur the lines are between popular culture and politics. We remember earlier in the year when President Obama was hosting a State dinner for the Indian Prime-minister when the Salahis crashed the dinner having the FBI and CIA all over them. It had appeared that these individuals were not officially invited and as such posed great risks to the President. How could they have got in? They must have been connected in some way or another with either the party planner or the guards themselves. Whomever it is that failed to keep them out, we were shock to see that these were the same people who were filming for this really - Real Housewives of DC. There devious behavior was rewarded with great buzz and fame. Throughout the show all we hear is how connected they all are to someone in political power. As one of the housewives mentioned that connection to political power is the currency spent in DC. What are your thoughts on the blurring lines between politics and pop culture?
