West Wing
If you watch "The West Wing", have not seen the final episode of series four yet and do not want to know what happens, then do not read on. I was fascinated last night at the casting. The Republican Speaker of the House, who became the stand-in President, was played by John Goodman. John Goodman is a very fine actor best remembered as Dan Conner in Roseanne and as Fred Flintstone in the 1994 movie, "The Flintstones". Was this an attempt at political irony? Yes, OK, I know, it is Christmas and I am running short of material.
