Politics, Public Policy, and Bravo's Response to Gossip Girl

So I have yet to actually make it through an episode of NYC Prep which looks to be a dull (we're talking "Lonely Boy" dull), pale imitation of Gossip Girl. But I've got to say I might turn in for at least one or two episodes now that I know that the guy who clearly seems to be the only reason to possibly watch NYC Prep (PC) is the grandson of Pete Peterson. Yes, that Pete Peterson - Senior Chairman of the Blackstone Group, former Chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, former Chairman of Lehman Brothers, co-founder of the Concord Coalition and one of the country's leading deficit hawks, founder of the Peter Peterson Foundation, the man Richard Nixon fired as Commerce Secretary because he disapproved of whose dinners and cocktail parties he was attending. I mean if the Bush twins were on a Bravo show I'd give that a try. And from what I've seen so far PC dresses better than those two, so, yeah, I guess I'll give the spectacle a go at least one more time.
