Right so let’s talk about a DIFFERENT show, I’ve never watched a full episode of “Madame Secretary” but I watch “Elementary” which comes after it and football runs late so the start of Elementary is often delayed so I’ve seen a little.

So I ended up watching a good half of a Madame Secretary ep. I was under the assumption it was a rat administration. It’s not, like that “Scandal” nonsense it’s a RINO administration. Tia leoni’s SOS is a non-partisan type serving a RINO President. She is asked about global warming in an interview and goes lib. The Prez’s COS is poed at her cause she’s gonna be named the running mate for term 2 and she doesn’t get why it’s a big deal (huh?) “it was a personal question” (whut?). Then the President goes lib on global warming too. He’s facing a primary challenge from the right BTW.

And “2 months later” he loses decisively in some critical primary and it’s curtains. Maybe you should have went lib on a major issue AFTER getting the nomination, numbnuts. At least they mentioned Franklin Pierce as the first and last elected President to seek and not got renomination.

What bothers me so much is not that this show is liberal-slanted, I know they all are, I’d be shocked if they weren’t. But the poor writing and total lack of realism was atrocious in “MS”. And this fixation with liberal Republicans (as if to chide us actual Republicans) is bizarre. I’d honesty rather watch a rat administration.

I knew at once new that President RINO and Tea Leoni would run as Indies, but they didn’t. MORGAN Freeman who I guess was the Lib Chief Justice runs into Tea (somewhere, the SC and the State Department don’t share a cafeteria to my knowledge) and says too bad they lost, he’d vote for them wink wink even though he’s a filthy rat. The wheels start turning in Tea’s head even though THIS NOTION SHOULD HAVE OCCURRED TO HER, THE PRESIDENT, AND EVERYONE ELSE EVEN LONG BEFORE HE LOST. Creating false dramatic tension (or whatever) at the expense of even remotely resembling reality. She looked surprised that a lib said he liked her and her RINO boss, even considering that’s she not a politician and must be clueless about a lot of stuff, that’s was weird.

The Republican nominee, the Governor of PA is presented as evil for being conservative and wanting to keep a military base in Bahrain instead of moving it to Tunisa which is pretty far from Bahrain so I don’t how they could serve the same purpose, at least they didn’t make up fake countries like some shows do. The rat seems to be a Berner “isolationist” who wants to dismantle the military, so Tea hates them both, she and the RINO have some grand foreign policy vision that is probably nonsensical and Wilsonian Neocon with a social justice twist if it makes any sense at all (just a guess, I’ll never watch this show again). The show is about a Sec of State but aren’t there any domestic issues at play? Do voters care about a military base in Tunisa?

The President is gonna be a good boy and endorse the Governor, but Tea runs into him and they argue about Bahrain and Tunisa and he says he will undo the deal when he takes over, and then asks her to say on as SOS (W.T.F.), so she runs back into the Oval office and tells the President lets run as independents!!! What a shocker. The President is flabbergasted. She could have squatted down and went #1 on the floor and he’d have the same look on his face. Was “Benson” like that?

The COS goes to Tea’s house, he’s upset he has to choose between his President and his party (”it’s not the same party you supported since middle school” says Tea, up yours Tea). He’s run the numbers in his bat computer and there is only one way to win. I immediately guess it’s put someone else on as VP.

Yup, 3 person meeting because it’s not like you’d have a big team running this scheme. COS tells the President that indies love him so he’ll win the swing states like FL and VA (that’s not how that works writers!!!! Good lord) but the GOP nominee is the Governor of PA and sure to win his home state and get to 270 (poor berner seems to be boned)

So they gotta go with a female RINO Senator from PA. Arlen Specter with teats, I wonder if she’s hot. Tea loves her. The most realastic part of all this how certain they are that she’ll jump at the chance to betray her party and her own Governor.

They’d have a “very good chance” of winning in the House. Yeah sure, even if rats are badly divided and half of them hate the Berner, you need 26 delegations, I’d wager for a deadlock and the VP-elect chosen by the Senate maybe getting to be Acting President for a while.

When comedy like “VEEP” is actually only slightly worse in terms of a realistic political environment (and maybe a little better in some ways), damn. Who writes this? Don’t you have any writers who are capable of making something realistic that’s still compelling television? Consultants? I don’t expect a documentary but give me a break.

This crap is as bad as that Geena Davis show they had back when Hillary ran the first time. She was a indie chosen to be VP by a Republican, the VP is a spare tire and he chose one with a nail in it, he was asking for that stroke. She considered resigning and letting the Republican (and former racist dixiecrat) Speaker played by DONALD SUTHERLAND take over but he talks mean to her so she decides to take the Presidency. Ok now that I mention it that was the worst crap I ever saw, it made the “West Wing” (which I actually watched) look like Shakespeare (and a mushroom addict lib wrote that show) I quit after a couple episodes.

I feel stupid wasting time writing this, you guys haven’t watched this garbage and don’t care but I thought I’d let you know how farcical it is.
