It is not fair to compare fictional characters with reality . . . but it is fun; my wife and I just finished season two of The West Wing, and perhaps the most savvy, tactical, witty, and upright person on President Bartlet's staff is C.J. Kregg—she's tall, fast-talking, assertive, and poised . . . and perhaps because she crushed this role, Alison Janney gets to play the president on The Diplomat—anyway, to then see Trump's new secretary, Katie Zacharia, bumble her way through her first propagandistic disinformation monologue, after recently watching so much West Wing, this made me very, very sad . . . so I definitely can't go back and rewatch Battlestar Galactica, because President Roslin would give President Bartlet a run for his money—although I would love to see Trump handle a Cylon attack: "This war against these aliens will end as soon as I want it to end."
