Story to come. Looks like Sorkin screwed up!

[StayoutdaBushesWay]

I watched the first few minutes of the much anticipated Sept 11 special of West Wing. That was the first and last time I will ever watch.

I don't know who Sorkin is

That's OK, I don't know what a sorkin is.

[henbane]

No matter what you think of the man, him and bubba are incredibly intelligent

For these two losers, "intelligence" is some kind of illegal chemical substance that they aspirate down their windpipe.

It rips up their heads with strange power dreams that usually lead them into big, big trouble.

AARON SORKIN SAYS HE'S USED COCAINE, MARIJUANA BEFORE HIS APRIL ARREST

"Sorkin, who had been treated for a cocaine habit in 1995, was arrested April 15 at Burbank Airport after marijuana, hallucinogenic mushrooms and rock cocaine were found in his bag.

"The writer's friends and colleagues publicly expressed confidence that he was clean and called the arrest an aberration, but they were being guided by what Sorkin had told them, according to the magazine.

"He pleaded guilty in June to a misdemeanour and two felony counts, and was allowed to enter a drug treatment program instead of serving prison time.

"In an interview in the upcoming issue of TV Guide, Sorkin said he smoked crack cocaine daily while writing the 1995 movie The American President.

"That is why it took me three years to write the script," he said. He entered Minnesota's Hazelden Institute at the urging of friends, including Rob Reiner, director of The American President.

On what possible basis could you claim that

He has to be intelligent because he went to so many differnt schools. (sarcasm off) (even if he didn't graduate from most of them).

[jonboy]

Ahh yes, the intellect of Al Gore. He must have to work hard to hold it back.




What's that old saying, "Stupid is as stupid does?" Who brought it to us? Oh, yes, Forest Gore.

[goodnesswins]

"there" intelligence? Whose intelligence?

[Faraday]

No matter what you think of the man, him and bubba are incredibly intelligent and Gore holding back how smart he was is a disgrace to all of those who pride themselves on there intelligence.

Did you forget to close your sarcasm tags? 'Cause I gotta tell ya, I got appliances smarter than OwlGore.

It's clearly sarcasm. "...there intelligence" instead of "...their intelligence". Pretty subtle, huh.

[clintonh8r]

"where" intelligence?

[anniegetyourgun]

Meanwhile, a Bush Administration source reveals to the DRUDGE REPORT that Sorkin recently approached the real West Wing with a request to feature real White House players in an upcoming episode -- a request which was denied! "He's attack the president cause we turned him down," a White House staffer charges. "He's bitter after we closed the door on him! But, quite frankly, we're preoccupied with other things these days."

Ever notice how gracious this White House is....until you cross 'em? You'd think folks would learn that they'll give you ONE chance, but only ONE chance - then they'll blast the TRUTH all over the place.

...and Gore holding back how smart he was is a disgrace to all of those who pride themselves on there intelligence.

Perhaps you meant to write their intelligence.

Of course, its irrelevent anyway since Gore's IQ isn't all that great. It doesn't take much upstairs to fool the average democrat voter.

I'm probably one of the few. I've never watched West Wing. I loathe Martin Sheen and his offspring.

Same here. I had nothing against the man until I learned of his politics. It always amazes me that the Hollywood types insist on telling us how we should think and act. Their job is entertainment, nothing more. What makes them experts on crime, foreign policy and military strategy? Unfortunately the press considers them to be so. Yet, they never seem to ask the few conservatives in the industry what their opinions are....

OK. You beat me to the "there" comment by a minute. But did you notice the objective case pronoun "him" where the nominative "he" should have been used.

[Congressman Billybob]

Sometimes C-SPAN offers some incredibly awful politics as well. Cornel West and Cronies were particularly bad this week. So I wrote them up. Click below.

Latest column up -- "America's Two-Women Bobsled Gold Proves Cornel West is a Moron."

[Behind Liberal Lines]

Ahhh, that crappy cliched show of his is too popular for them to do anything. The only way they will take action is if the sponsors start to complain.

[bfree]

azura2 is not only illiterate but probably a Palm Beach voter too!!

[sneakypete]

Sound like Brokaw didnt appreciate being called out by the cokehead.

And there you have it. It's about Brokaw,not Bush.

[Chapita]

Hitler was intelligent! Stalin was intelligent or he wouldn't have survived in that position. Mao was no fool!

So what is your point?

[FryingPan101]

Bigg Red....It's official. You hold the record for Bookmarks. LOL! Congrats!

[Lancey Howard]

I am proud to say that I have never seen one single minute of this cokehead's television show. I figured from the beginning that The West Wing was just some liberal Hollywood scumbag's attempt to glorify the rapist President, and to act as a mouthpiece for the socialist Scumocrat agenda. Everything I have read about the show confirms my original suspicions. Plus, who could possibly buy Sheen as a President? I will always remember him as the psycho Senate candidate from the Stephen King movie with Christopher Walken. I forget the name of it, but it ended with the Sheen character blowing his own brains out after he was featured on the cover of Time magazine holding a baby out in front of him as a shield against an assassin. "Just like a Democrat", I thought, using "the children" as shields and props for their own selfish lust for power and perks.
