“The West Wing” was every Leftist’s wet dream about how they see themselves.

I had a friend, one that I thought was pretty intelligent, and she could not understand why our government could not work like the West Wing and why there wasn’t a real life Jed Bartlett as President. I gave up trying to explain it to her.
It was the libs’ wet dream of what the Clinton administration should be … as opposed to what it was in reality. Some of them still think Martin Sheen was actually President.
“West Wing” had one episode that stood the test of time—the debate over abolishing the penny.
Lol.
