Let Bartlet Be Bartlet

I've avoided starting a topic about The West Wing for a long time, mostly because I just don't usually start threads, and I'm lazy, and I don't remember why. But I'll be damned if I'm gonna just sit around and not rant for joy after tonights rerun.

There are some people who write like "girls" and some who "blow the roofs of buildings" (Felt appropriate to quote Sam Seaborn). Aaron Sorkin is one of the greatest writers of all time in my humble opinion. His show makes me happy: it inspires, provokes, agitates, and excites. But mostly it just makes me so happy!

I love that he is not affraid to do something daring that could possibly alienate his viewers. Does anyone see any way Bartlet could win the election? No, it seems impossible. And he may loose. But if I know the West Wing, they'll pull another beautifull episode out of the great Aaron Sorkin's hat, something to rival even the greatest endings like "You put your hands in your pockets, and turned away, and smiled," and tonights beautifull rerun:

"I serve at the pleasure of the President."
