Just imagine that network TV put on a show about a real Conservative president. He'd be humble. He'd hire blacks for positions of power. He'd explain supply and demand, and the laffer curve, and free trade to people. His opponents would be mush-brained senators who talk about feelings, criticize everything, and have no idea what they want to see in place of what they criticized.

Would it be a comedy? Would it be a drama? I don't know. But I bet it would be more popular than Geena Davis.

I think a show like that could attract a real audience. It could be a real money-maker for the network. Of course, they'd rather drop dead than make a pilot for that.

Anyone remember "The Governor and JJ?" Early 70's sitcom about a folksy (as I recall, Reganesque) governor with a basset hound and a doating daughter. The gov was a nice guy and the series gentle. I can almost picture W as the central character, but you are right...never get made.

Free trade is not a conservative principle.. a foolish one yes.. a conservative one, no.

Just imagine that network TV put on a show about a real Conservative president.

actually, I think a show about a liberal president & administration would be a hit - IF it was true-to-life. Sex with interns, corruption - rank hypocrisy on almost any issue, money & power before honor or issues - double-dealing with wacko liberal activists. Give me a team of good writers & I guarantee we would pull more than a 15 share.
