In exemplifying the role of the presidency and its political decisions, The West Wing plot would often times mirror real life events and policies. Even though the comforting scripts hailed from within the confines of a Washington, DC bizzaro world, its overtures from a bully pulpit provided a stark contrast, if not a desperately desired distraction from, today's actual presidency.
Job well done, Everyone - With deep gratitude to John Spencer for his exceptional work.
A special thank you to Aaron Sorkin for his sharp wit that helped the show gain traction with intelligent entertainment viewers. It takes some serious screenwriting for cast members to be invited by the Clinton Administration to meet their real-life counterparts at the White House.
Intelligent dialogue, quick quips, and steadfast progressisve thought, The West Wing was an entertaining political fix like no other. Perhaps Salon.com said it best: "[It's a shame that] Bartlet's administration only ever served on TV."
