Newton Minnow's crystal ball

I was looking at the guest list for the state dinner that the reality wanna-be pair crashed. So who else was there besides that couple, VP Biden, POTUS Obama and Katie Couric? Newt Minow was there.

Newt Minow? Is he still alive? The Newton Minow of television is a vast wasteland fame? You remember that vast wasteland of bad programming back when he chaired the Federal Communications Commission, which would be 1961 through 1963?

How's your hindsight, Newt? TV was in its Golden Age (with only three channels -- if you were lucky) and you were complaining.
