This morning’s “The Connection” featured a discussion on “The West Wing.” We learn that Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan is the model for President Bartlett, that unlike watching “ER” for the medicine, you can learn a lot about politics from this show, and if Dubya really did want a walk-on role on the show.
“The TV ratings success of “West Wing” on NBC Wednesday nights can be taken as proof that Democrats are better at drama than they are at politics. But Republicans can see it too as a better picture than journalism has ever given us of the staff passions, the fights for face-time and the president’s mind that are the eternal stuff of White House politics.”
