NO!
The West Wing is my favorite show. I can't believe this.
This is sad... He was my favorite character on the West Wing. He always struck me as the voice of reason on the show - he also pushed the lib prez on the show towards at least considering taking action when it was called for (of course, the lib prez - played by an even more lib actor who thinks he actually _is_ the president - usually would back down and do the touchy-feely thing anways....)
Prayers going out for John Spencer and his family and friends.
