and again since Drumfp was "elected". I just don't think I can watch it again without crying... Bartlet, despite his flaws, was a good President... and Drumfp... just isn't. Much worse than Shrub.

Only fully available at my friend's house via NetFlix, so happy to catch episodes.
Oh YES, MUCH worse than shrub, which we never guessed would be possible.
