You can also watch “Veep”, which is a docu-drama, info-tainment all about the Biden Vice-Presidency, but he is portrayed as an intelligent female.

There are some good pounts here...but I still am very suspicious. It’s HBO, it’s Aaron Sorkin and it’s an election year. Also, I urge anybody to avoid any show that glorifies the media. They are always biased to the left.

a fantasy world ... and everyone cheered his obnoxious tantrums.

The very definition of the liberal mindset.

Liberals, stop playing games. We know what you are really about: against capitalism and clean underwear

[Upstate NY Guy]

Excellent. I don’t watch much TV but I am very happy to hear the Left has found a new way to delude themselves. Cool!

I've seen "Veep" - she does appear to be a democRAT, although I don't think that's been made clear in the show. ("Veep" Julia Louis-Dreyfus is always babbling about her "clean jobs bill", and looks down on the "big oil" congressmen).

Every character on 'Veep' is a blithering idiot - I mean really, truly stooopid (except for Veep's African-American secretary, who never leaves her desk). It's puzzling to me why liberal HBO would make a bunch of liberal actors/characters look and act so stupid. You would think they'd make her and her ridiculously inept staff conservative Republicans.

This morning one entertainment website had the pilot of "The Newsroom" available for viewing. I click play--

At a little over ten minutes I clicked pause... and close the page.

There was nothing I enjoyed in that first ten minutes and it was drummed into my young screenwriting head some 50 years ago "If you don't hook 'em in the first 10 pages of your script, you ain't gonna never!"

And it is still true even today. If it [film, TV, book, etc] does not grab my attention within the first 10 pages or minutes, I don't waste any more of my time.

Aaron Sorkin is a darling of the Left and, as far as I am concerned, THAT is the main reason for his work even being offered for public consumption.

Every inch of him screams 'self-important douchebag'.

It doesn’t happen often, but you actually made me laugh out loud.

I'm glad.

Now return the favor. :)

[Pharmboy]

It shall be my quest.
