Last Ever West Wing?


Now we know that the usual suspects are practising the usual techniques.
When John Major's Conservative government had been buried alive, 'Spitting Image', the puppet lampooning series, found it advisable to end lest they be forced to lampoon their client government, the imminently arrivving Labour Party under Tony Blair.

So now we have the 'final' episode of the West Wing, now that Demopratt 'Bartlett' must ultimately retire, since it is 'inconceivable' and definitely 'unconsciounable' that a Republican (shock horror) be portrayed as president.

But Hollywood's fit of pique is self-defeating, since it merely admits it; they will produce a backlash against the democrats, that centres around the fact that they have the support of phoneys, and cannot count on any gratitude from the Republicans should they try to fake them too.

This spite backfires because it makes Bush look even more real.
