The West Wing Thing

Totally changed my perspective on a show I loved and it’s a good set-up to have a discussion, not heard enough, broadening the political spectrum. I wish they weren’t so repetitive on some things but overall this is worth the commitment. It can get really good with guest appearances, when they’re willing to expand the conversation around the show or bring in their own experiences. They should do more of this rather than keep hitting the same themes. Well worth a listen if you’re interested in (the left side) of politics and thought that’s what the west wing offered.

So obviously a pair of writers who want to knock a way more successful one for the sake of their own ego.

This podcast, from the writer of a thoroughly boring movie and a man who’s Wikipedia has a section on his plagiarism, made me understand the word butthurt. It also has a long, indulgent and annoying theme song.

Trashing the WW is fine, I agree with what they say. The political discussions on current events are what I look forward to.
