Exhibit #37 in the case of People vs. Drooling Inbred Halfwits Writing for “Desperate Housewives”: Bree’s acceptance of George’s marriage proposal. Sure, he sprang it on her rather suddenly. And yes, his creepy mother and her friend were peering anxiously around a corner as George waited for Bree’s response. But based on this, we’re supposed to believe that Bree agreed to marry someone JUST TO BE POLITE?
Come on, now: This is Bree we’re talking about. Yes, she’s obsessed with etiquette – but only to the degree that it serves her own interests. Remember the pilot, in which Bree thoughtfully delivered two lovely baskets of toasty homemade delights to Paul Young at his late wife’s wake — and then demanded that he return the baskets as soon as possible? Remember the episode in which Bree spanked Lynette’s misbehaving son – a definite breach of etiquette, if ever there was one? And THIS is the same woman we’re supposed to believe would agree to marry a man she doesn’t love, before the first frost has even hit her dead husband’s body, just to keep George from being embarrassed in front of his mother?
Have these writers even WATCHED their own show? Or have they been too busy digging into the contents of George’s pharmacy?
