The West Wing

Perhaps the most intelligent and best written television programme ever written.

What gets me, more than the writing, the depth of the characters and the stunning acting, especially Martin Sheen, is the feeling it leaves you with. What would the world be like if there was a liberal Democrat as President, a hugely intelligent person who made decisions based on sound reasoning, with knowledge of history, religion, philosophy, and a sense of wanting to do the right thing, all this supported by staff that have the same ideals?
