Uh-oh, the New Yorker has got it wrong again -- that "loyal opposition" part.

An interesting question would be why Drudge feels the need to publicize this idiot's ravings. I often think that Drudge likes to bash President Bush through second-hand quotes. It's "news," you see.

In my fantasy world these arrogant losers would be shown to the public for what they are, but alas, I fear that will never happen.

I proudly can state I've never watched one episode of West Wing, and after this I'll never tune in. What's he mean Gore was trying so hard not to appear smart in the debates! Gore is a total fool, and the debates just proved it. Give me an MBA from Harvard any day rather than a divinity school flunkie!

This fool Sorkin has the same mindset of all the elitist Hollywood - they think all Democrats are deep and intellectual and all Republicans are bumbling idiots. I can tell him it took me a lot of maturing, research, reading and paying attention to what's going on around me to finally become a Conservative Republican. I WAS THE TOTAL IDIOT WHEN I WAS A DEMOCRAT!!!!!!!!

[Brett66]

We're 'pretending' Sorkin isn't a drug infested scum that should be in jail.

Watch for this West Wing espisode regarding a Florida governor's race to be on prime time BEFORE the real Governor's race. This was clearly written and is going to be aired to smear Jeb. I wonder who will play Janet or McLawyer. The tall, chubby dunce on Spin City could play McLawyer. Who can play Janet? Any ideas?

[Hang'emAll]

He is so annoyed that his precious little democratic fairy tale is not being accepted as reality that he can no longer hide the shows' bias.

My wife watches that sick show and I refuse to watch. She and her family admire the acting, blah,blah,blah.

I have told her that they are out there to push a liberal adgenda on the mind numb sheeple.

Gave her the article and explained again what they are doing and why people should boycott that show.

Guarantee that I have made no progress on this issue.

[ClancyJ]

As if a Clinton displayed unspeakable courage as he had sex in the White House with an intern, as he passed on capturing Bin Laden and therefore saving 3000 lives, as he made a token attack on an aspirin factory. Busy? Let's count the accomplishments in his first 6 months in office, let's look at the last year.

What bothers him is having to look at a president that displays decency, honesty, and a regard for the wellfare of this country rather than the sleasy self interest Hollywood applauds. Bush also makes his show look totally insignificant and petty.

I could never understand why they hated someone like Bush . However, someone explained that they prefer a president like they are - somewhat sleasy, potentially corrupt, unprincipled and of low moral character. When a man of character is in office, their agenda of low morality, and corruption being set as the norm is hindered.

[zook]

This is a big problem--we need to quit hearing this crap about "what a great show it is". We need to mount a major campaign against its advertisers. We need to hurt the show the same way we hurt Bill Ma-ha.

[Quicksilver]

Sorkin Seeks Buzz for Sagging Wing

[muir_redwoods]

Either he's running low on mushrooms or he's gotten into a better batch

[mountaineer]

Who can play Janet?

Will Farrell.

WEST WING SORKIN BLASTS BUSH: WE'RE 'PRETENDING'
HE HAS EXHIBITED UNSPEAKABLE COURAGE

Excerpt:

The force behind NBC's WEST WING is blasting off against the real West Wing in upcoming pages of the NEW YORKER, which names Aaron Sorkin "the country's loyal opposition."

NY'ER reporter Tad Friend has penned a high-impact Talk of the Town set for release in March 4 editions.

Sorkin, the creatorproducerwriter of WEST WING, tells Friend: "It's absolutely right that at this time we're all laying off the [Bush] bubblehead jokes. But that's a far cry from what the Times and CNN and others on whom we rely for unvarnished objectivity are telling us, which is that 'My God! On September 12th he woke up as Teddy Roosevelt! He became the Rough Rider!'"

Of NBC's own look at a day in the life of the Presidency, 'The Bush White House: Inside the Real West Wing,' which aired as the lead-in to a WEST WING repeat a few weeks ago, Sorkin charges: "The White House pumped up the President's schedule to show him being much busier and more engaged than he is, and Tom Brokaw let it happen?"

LOL!!!

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

jumbling the first line of the Olympic opening ceremony

This pointy-headed pipsqueak fails to comprehend that this is one reason Americans love W. He is plain-speaking and makes mistakes. The abberation that infested the White House before it's cleansing, was a slick con man who only had the weak-minded or sheep hoodwinked.

Obviously, most of Hollywood and the media are in those catagories, since we know ideology(chuckle)has no play, especially when it comes to the objective (snortle) press.

[FLCowboy,]

But that's a far cry from what the Times and CNN and others on whom we rely for unvarnished objectivity are telling us, which is that 'My God! On September 12th he woke up as Teddy Roosevelt! He became the Rough Rider!'"

If the Times and CNN are our only choices of unvarnished objectivity, Chinese communism might be a better choice. I can't believe Drudge would even give that idiot space.

[weikel]

Ive got better things to do then trying to get the sponsors to drop that crappy show. I just don't watch it( if you want to mount any political lobbying campaigns plz join the veto cfr campaign).

[IRBlondie]

What is the dope (no pun intended) on this guy? Was he arrested, charged, any bail, court date, and the drug he had in his possession?

[Benrand]

It was frustrating watching Gore try so hard not to appear smart in the debates

pppffft! (Danny Thomas spit take)

LOL! This guy is using a crack addled brain.

[TheGoodDoc]

A sure sign the series will soon be cancelled is when the drug addict owner of the show tries for negative publicity, to drum up the public's fading interest.
