It's good to see Aaron Sorkin get trounced.
The West Wing is nothing more than what the Libs wish the world was.
And people want to see people's feelings get crushed more than they want to be spoon-fed liberal flatulance.

Mwah-hah-hah-hah-hahaaaa!

The West Wing does a fair job of enunciating the Liberal point of view on things, but the Conservative point of view is always given the short shrift. Republicans are always shown as a fantasy of what Liberals must imagine Republicans to be (knuckle dragging Troglodytes, mostly). It's easy to win political arguments when you write both sides of the script.

Take last night's show. Some "Fundamentalists" wanted to fund an NIH study on remote prayer and it's effect on healing. The show took the "principled" position that this would be an un-Constitutional infringement on religious freedom. But that's just silly. Intelligent people could see that a study is not intrinsically biased one way or the other. It may show a positive linkage, or it may not. There is nothing offensive about studying that. But that whole discussion was lost in a fantasy about "taking the high road" and defending the precious First Amendment, no matter what the political cost. Not only pure BS, but pure BS that misses the point.
