John McCain to Josh Lyman: No Way!

My favorite political alternate reality has finally infiltrated actual political reality, according to this article in today's NY Times. Channeling their roles as White House Communications Director Toby Zeigler and Deputy Chief of Staff Josh Lyman on "The West Wing," Richard Schiff and Bradley Whitford told the Times that they heard John McCain say he didn't vote for Bush in 2000 while having dinner at Candice Bergen's house. So even media icon Murphy Brown is implicated in this dinner party scandal, which the McCain people have discounted as merely actors acting.

I'm mostly just hoping that somehow Aaron Sorkin picks up the story and decides to run with it in some kind of real-life guerrilla/hybrid season of "The West Wing/Murphy Brown."
