Well said, but leave Martin Sheen out of it.
Here's why: As POTUS Josiah Bartlet of "The West Wing" he helped DECREASE Democratic turnout by:
a) Not endorsing John Kerry on the show!!!
b) Not letting John Edwards be his imaginary VP but having a wanna-be take over on "The West Wing"!!!
c) Creating an imaginary world for Democrats to hide in...
d) Not giving a GOTV message the Wednesday before 2 November!!!
Besides, I like the show. Missed only ONE episode. But the "flyover states" joke a few episodes back irked me off - my parents are from the South. And I sort-of like NASCAR.
You have to be kidding!

Sheen: In order to understand this Administration it is helpful to have a background in [Alcoholics Anonymous's] Twelve Step, because it is real clear to those of us who understand the Twelve Step program that these are very dysfunctional times. We live in a very dysfunctional society, and this is a very, very dysfunctional Administration. The proven way for this Administration to keep power is to keep us all in fear. As long as we are afraid of the unknown and afraid of each other, he, or anyone like him, can rule. It's like they will take responsibility for protecting us. It's when we take back the responsibility for protecting ourselves that they get scared. I am amazed by the level of arrogance within the Administration.
