West Wing Flys Left Wing...

NBC treaded into dangerous waters by blurring reality and fiction yet one more pixel. Tonight's episode of the "West Wing" starring hot & spicy Jimmy Smits as the latin Texas liberal - Matt Santos (that's a cool name huh?) vs. the ugly, old, grumpy white guy - Alan Alda as Arnie Vinick (that name, which should remind you of your old, polish uncle who sexually molested you at age 5 at the family picnic). The only thing NBC's "please watch us! We're cooler than the Comedy Channel - really!" attempt did tonight was galvanize the red and blue states deeper into their out-dated ideals while taking a shot at gathering as many Cheeto-eating couch potatos for the liberal side it can for '08. Believe me! I'm open-minded when it comes to creative programming and I'm not even a hard-core Republican anymore (see my future post about being a libertarian), but I think tonight's broadcast is both irresponsible as well as unethical. NBC should be ashamed of its over-the-top attempt at dismantling the current administration in a very slick, contrived and unfair manner. Shame on you NBC... shame. At this rate anyhow, Jimmy Smits appears to be the Democratic frontrunner for '08.
