Danielle Crittenden: Put Martha in Charge of The Katrina Clean-Up
One of the most popular television shows in post-Saddam Iraq is a TLC-style home make-over program for residents whose houses have been destroyed. A sexy host named Shaima Zubar (whose heavily applied make-up indicates that she is refreshingly indifferent to Islamic restraints) surprises her guests by showing up at their door and completely redecorating and refurnishing their otherwise destroyed properties.
Given the poor reviews of Martha Stewart’s new talk show, it occurred to me that there might be a better reality show opportunity for her in post-Katrina New Orleans.
Alas it’s too late for Martha to oversee the evacuation—undoubtedly she would have done a superior job to the local officials: Orderly numbered buses, painted in restful shades of gray, would have been lined up in advance of the hurricane to transport residents to cozily decorated and well-stocked stadiums. Pets would have been groomed, fed, and left in suitable temporary care. She might have devoted an entire episode to waterproofing one’s home.
But there’s still a chance for the sequel: Why not send Martha in to oversee the clean-up?
