The West Wing is saccharine bilge.

How very dare you.

For fellow Wingnuts there is a new book out from Melissa Fitzgerald and Mary McCormack and the rumours of a reboot are getting stronger.

I can't stand it. It's like some kind of anti-reality. Everyone's so supportive of each other and empathetic and nice.

In reality, all these people would be at each other's throats and skulduggering like bedamned.

It's a child's idea of what the White House is like.

What? Are you sure you’re not thinking of a different show?

To be fair, I've only seen the first season. I gave up after barely making it through that.

I don't think so.

It does all the cut throat and skullduggery - it just doesn't do it in a psychodrama way.
Toby getting schooled by his friend on the bipartisan breakfast. Josh on tobacco. Leo and the addiction. Amy the looper trying to sabotage her own party's initiatives. Sam's friend being cut loose because he likes white juries.

It's all there. My only gripe with it, is they miss the opportunity to educate the US public about major issues and conflicts around the world. I suppose that was not its purpose but for example the summit on the Middle East clearly exposed the issues on both sides of the Israel Palestine issue.

I have watched it end to end minimum 15 to 20 times.

I love it.

What you think of house of cards, fishfuck?
