Time to order The West Wing and see it again.

And speaking of TWW, I think Willard is watching it. He called our president feckless a few days ago. Hmm.
Also, I had the priviledge of meeting him after a march in Los Angeles for Kerry. He spent so much time shaking hands with EVERY disabled person at the back of the huge crowd, it delayed his speech at the podium. Nobody cared. He is wonderful. He was a guest on Actor's Studio some years back that is also worth watching, if you can find it.
