the Special Episode of The West Wing--Season 3--that combined documentary from real Presidents and members of their real staff with
scenes from The West Wing. What an amazing program.
If you have Netflix, it's available in Season 3.
If you don't have Netflix, and want to spring for the $1.99 on youtube, here's the link:
I have been watching The West Wing on Netflix, working my way through the series. Today I watched this episode combining clips from
President Carter, President Clinton, President Ford, Dee Dee Myers, Peggy Noonan, David Gergen, Karl Rove, Paul Begala, Leon Panetta,
Henry Kissenger, and others intermingled with scenes from The West Wing. It was marvelous.
It doesn't have to be the shitshow that 45 has become, regardless of whether it is a Democratic or Republican administration.
We must rid ourselves of 45. He is an aberration and abomination and insult to the office. At this point, I don't really care how he is removed.
But for the sake of the country and our future, he must go.

both Ryan and McConnell are removed from power (if Ryan even gets re-elected, which I doubt).
But the orange needs to go yesterday...a year ago. NOW. He needs to go NOW.

Such a wonderful show. Such a contrast to the current administration.

I had no memory of this Special Edition show with comments from the real Presidents and staff members. It makes you believe
that it could, once again, after we are rid of 45, have a White House that might be worthy of respect.
