A preview of the new Bravo show “Real Housewives of Washington, D.C.” has the housewives debating whether President Obama or President Bush is the “better man.”

Andy Cohen, Bravo’s senior vice president of original programming and development, aired the clip on “Watch What Happens Live” Monday night. Cohen’s live reaction to the D.C. housewives made one think he was watching live C-SPAN coverage of the Senate debating of campaign finance disclosure.
“D.C. housewives are so highbrow with all their fancy political debate, I almost didn’t know what they were talking about,” Cohen said of the “who is a better man?” debate.
None of the housewives who opined on the “better man” issue—real estate agent Stacie Scott Turner, stay-home mother Mary Schmidt Amons and British interior designer Catherine Ommanney—has any political experience.
To put a fine point on his lack of political knowledge, Cohen deemed the D.C. franchise “kinda like the Masterpiece Theater of Housewife shows.”
The series premieres August 5 at 9 p.m.
