Get Out (the vote)

I’m watching Studio 60 and John Goodman is playing the local sheriff slash judge where some cast members of the show w/in a show got arrested. John Goodman just delivered some excellent lines that display why this program shouldn’t go off the air just yet (oh and Will Bailey I.e. Joshua Malina hasn’t made an appearance that turns into a 6 year stint). On the West Wing, when Goodman played the temporary President of the United States (when President Bartlett had to recuse himself from office after Zoey got kidnapped by terrorists for political reasons) he was so great you almost wished he was the fake-real President and not Martin Sheen. Or you wished that Sheen was the real-real President and Goodman was his real-fake successor. Although, after a little more thought, when the West Wing had the election campaign to end the final season you thought that both Jimmy Smits or Alan Alda would make a better fake and/or real President than the real one, but probably not Bartlett or for that matter Goodman. Upon a little more thought, every cast member including Donna would have made a better President than GWB, though not better than Bartlett, Goodman, Smits, or Alda. But I digress. Or maybe I didn’t. The point of the post has just derailed and taken on a new life. Everyone on the West Wing and Studio 60 (even D.H. Hughely) would make a better President than George W. Bush. No everyone in prime time (except O’Reilly and anyone on Fox News) would make a better President. Real or Fake. Chew on.
