What do pig-flipping and politics have in common?

A Real Houswife, of course!

Wanna know what we're talking about? Read on to find out...

The Real Housewives of Miami star Lea Black is trying to prove that the Bravo Housewives are good for more than just cocktails and catfights by getting political in a self-penned opinion piece posted this morning on the Huffington Post. Who's she targeting? Duh, Sarah Palin!

"Sarah Palin is the sideshow in the circus that everyone wants to watch, but that most people don't take seriously," Black told us when we chatted with her earlier today. "The Republican Party has become a circus and she's the sideshow act that everyone likes to laugh at, not with."

Black also thinks the Sarah Palin's Alaska star should stick to reality TV and stay out of politics, adding, "I think she makes for great entertainment, but I don't think she can be taken seriously for leading a country."

Meow!

As for Black's onscreen drama with Bravo's newest group of Housewives gals?

"You're not going to see any table-flipping," she said. "But if you tune in tomorrow night you may see some pig-flipping."

Huh?! Black declined to elaborate, but we have a feeling it has something to do with a promo clip of housewife Alexia Echevarria's husband butchering a whole pig in the middle of their own kitchen.

You'd think they'd have the hired help take care of that.
