UK Politician Galloway on "Big Brother" -- The New York Times Weighs In

The New York Times picked up on the spectacle of anti-war, anti-Blair politician George Galloway on "Big Brother." We've been telling you about it all week, from the wiseness of his decision to appear (Galloway insists it's merely a platform to air his anti-war views) to his jump-the-shark moment where Galloway pretended to be a cat. (Did you know people can jump the shark, just like TV shows? It's true.) One odd detail in the NYT piece:
Mr. Galloway's appearance on the so-called reality show spurred complaints that he was ignoring the people who had elected him and undermining his grand political visions.
Huh? "So-called reality show?" What else is "BB" if not a reality show?
