 One Last Debriefing with ‘The West Wing’Posted on May 14, 2006
The show that allowed us to feel idealistic about politics—if only for an hour a week—is signing off forever. Check out this interactive application full of fun facts about the cast and crew of the fictional administration that we desperately wished had been running the country for the last five years.

And it left with such a… WHIMPER. It’s a shame that they did not, in the end, stand for anything. Not that they should have been PRO Iraq or ANTI Bush or anything like that, but why not at least one really well-written inaugural speech.
I am glad it’s gone. That show gave too much credence to MSNBC and Drudge and other “real” journalism outlets (not as in “real journalism” but as in “really” existing). Promoting commercial products is almost expected these days, but promoting people like Drudge, Mathews and Russert? Gag!
Besides, the show’s dialog was usually really hard to believe—nobody talks like those West-Wingers did, nobody.

This show was a breath of fresh air; characters were believable and painted the Republicans with a very realistic brush. I’m really going to miss this bunch. It helped to put a personal face on our leaders, even if it was fiction.
