What "The West Wing" reveals about Joe Biden
'For loyal fans of the Aaron Sorkin's "The West Wing," former Vice President Joe Biden seems almost familiar. Biden is a Democrat, to be sure, but not one of those progressives who wants to change things all at once. He's guided by a strong Irish Catholic faith but doesn't seem particularly inclined to impose his faith on others. He's compassionate.
Biden definitely seems like the kind of guy who would offer to skip a speech to console a staffer after that staffer's father died suddenly. His wife's a doctor (of education) and a strong independent force in her own right. He's a family man who loves his children. If you are looking for a doppelganger for TV president Josiah Bartlet, you could do a lot worse than Joe Biden.
That's not entirely a compliment. Bartlet, for all his positive qualities, is not real. He's a fantasy invented to tell stories and drive ratings. I for one (and I don't think I'm alone) have to remind myself that we don't need another TV show president. We need a real one.'>>>

The elleng primitive has been living in West Wing fantasyland for some time now. Over the last few months she has been posting a lot of video clips of the fictional President Bartlet character outsmarting the fictional conservative characters. She doesn't seem to understand that President Bartlet makes outsmarting the conservatives look so easy only because the leftist writers wrote the shows that way.

This primitive doesn't agree with the elleng Biden/Bartlet comparison, but that's probably only because the not so quick primitive thinks that it's actually Bernie or Beto or one of the other dipshit democrat candidates that is the one that is really just like the fictional Josiah Bartlet.

Only DUmmies would take the fictional and try to apply it to reality.

Maybe that's why they are so set on Impeaching Trump for fictional crimes. :thatsright: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

If I could have a fictional president actually be in office in real life, I'd MUCH rather have James Marshall from 'Air Force One.'
Trump seems more like a doppelganger for Marshall than Biden seems like a doppelganger for Bartlet.
