WW RIP

I don't have any grand pronouncements re: the final West Wing, and no, I didn't wear black to mourn its passing, but I would feel remiss in not recognizing its impact. For those of us who've been in a serious state of discontent for the past six years, the Bartlett administration has often provided a soothing relief to reality, if only because it was filled with a smart, ethical and, dare I say it, swashbuckling (at least in Josh's case) staff . It was nice to see an Aaron Sorkin cameo on last night's episode, too, because despite his penchant for drugs and high-priced call girls (maybe in part because of them), Sorkin was a helluva writer. I know it's just a t.v. show, but damn, it was a good one.
