It was obvious from the get-go that "Commander In Chief" was a love letter to Hillary designed to soften up Americans to the idea of a "Madame President." That's not only why it got onto ABC, but why the MSM went ape promoting it. For awhile there, it was everywhere you looked as they tried to shove it down our collective throats with millions of dollars worth of free publicity.

I only happened to pay special attention to that because it was opposite my favorite TV show, "House," and it would infuriate me to see media outlets like "Entertainment Weekly" put "CIC" on the cover while trying to bury "House." One year, Hugh Laurie won the Golden Globe as Best Actor on TV (voted by foreign journalists who weren't in on the "elect Hillary" conspiracy), yet EW's Entertainers of the Year issue lauded Geena Davis and didn't even mention Hugh. It was only after "CIC" was finally cancelled that they even began to put "House" into their weekly TV listings.

Of course, quality eventually won out. "House" is now the #1-rated scripted show on TV, and "CIC" is but a bad memory. It gave me hope that there actually are limits to the brainwashing abilities of today's mass media (Al Gore's 2000 vote total notwithstanding), and that maybe we Great Hairy Unwashed in flyover country aren't as gullible as the Bi-coasters think we are.
