That show is written by the drug addicted liberal asshole Aaron Sorkin, whose calling card is the long-winded, self-righteous rant. Because the people reciting his long-winded, self-righteous rants are liberals who are portraying liberals, West Wing is basically gonzo porn for Democrats. Only a liberal woman leaves a puddle after hearing some actor prattle on about rights of the homeless on a TV show from almost 20 years ago. Like most porn addicts, DUmmies would rather watch than participate, which is why they never DO anything about the issues they allegedly care about.
You'd think that after a long West Wing session, Pam would get up, wash her hands, apply a wet washrag, pull on her Depends and slip a spare in her expensive purse, and go out to make a difference. Nope: she lays there waiting for the tape to rewind as her dog licks her fingers.
Gross.
