Television: Santos for president!!!

Okay, so the live West Wing debate totally kicked unadulterated ass.

Alan Alda is a genius. Alda, a lifelong liberal democrat playing a conservative on live, unscripted television, wove a much better case for the conservative agenda than the Bush administration could ever dream. Oh wait, maybe because the Bush administration only follows a conservative agenda when its convenient, and a neo-conservative agenda when it knows no one is paying attention.

You totally cannot access the nbc.com West Wing link right now. Awesome.

For background on the whole live debate thing, here's the CNN article explaining what was going down.
