Am I the only one who would rather spend time sniffing the unwashed rectal thermometers of an overweight Korean chili enthusiast than watch The West Wing?

I generally like Aaron Sorkin's writing, but I always found that show preachy, pretentious, and horrifically overwrought...

"...unwashed rectal thermometers..."

Goodness, how many rectal thermometers does an overweight Korean chili enthusiast actually need?

You'd think one would be enough for anyone.

Mitch, I'm with you. I didn't know this was on the air anymore either. Just a matter of time before a reality show squeezes it out I suppose.

That "The Left Wing" has won awards is a sad commentary on our society. The very few episodes I've watched parts of all have seemed to be the same: these noble, majestic giants of hamanity struggle interanlly against the big evil conservative machine and against the unfortunate and unexplainable gullibility of all the common folks who buy the traditional conservative lies. In the end, though someone gives some hoaky "profound, inspiriing" speech, they all sing kumbaya, and go off with a new-found sense of purpose to win the day and enlighten the clueless masses.
Could anything be further from life around the White House?

Its good they add a fever swamp leftist to the camp. With the current cast, they didn't have enough leftists already (sarcasm).

What you guys don't want to hear is that the big conservative machine in this country *IS* evil. It's evil to take a united country after 9/11 and use it to force a trumped-up vendetta in Iraq and a cross-burning racist on the Federal Bench. It's evil to run in 2000 claiming you won't monkey with Social Security, and then greet Tom Delay at a recent speech with chants of "hey hey, ho ho, Social Security's got to go." It's evil to claim the mantle of freedom and then pass laws that force people to renounce their religious faith if they want public assistance.

The West Wing is winning awards because it's just about the only piece of thoughtful, decent-minded drama remaining on what has otherwise unraveled into the ain't-Bush-great machine we used to call television.
