You won't see intelligent folks on West Wing portrayed as Conservatives and/or Republicans.

I only see this show sporadically-- nothing else on public stations last night so saw most of premiere... Reminded me why I am not a fan-- this show always ends up chapping my Republican a$$ whenever I see it, the above reason being a primary one...
Yeah Toby et al. were made to look a bit foolish tooling around in the boondocks with Actual Human Beings, but one gets the sense that one is supposed to sympathize with them and their travails about having to deal with uneducated illiterate backwoods hicks who didn't vote fer that feller the last time and prob'ly won't THIS time neither...

I seem to recall some smart blonde ultraconservative chick joining the staff last year or so. She and Rob Lowe were always at each other. What happened to her?

She went to the new CSI show with David Caruso. They did try to slip in a look-a-like, didn't work.

they kicked all the conservative writers off the show at the end of last season. Peggy Noonan was one of them. They must have big plans to go completely liberal in every aspect from now until 2004. Pathetic but the libs and the media will adore. They won a ton of emmys last week.
