Did anybody watch it last night? I thought it was interesting, but way too preachy.

I thought it was okay. A little boring, and definitely preachy, but some good points.

I liked the "Terrorism has a 100% failure rate" line. Not only does terrorism fail to diminish your target, it weakens support for your own position.

I really liked the sub-plot when they are grilling a Muslim White House intern, who (surprise!) was totally uninvolved in any wrong-doing.

Didn't Clinton use that same line in a speech the day before - I think he was receiving an environment award.

Isnīt the West Wing nearly always a little bit preachy?

Sorry, didn't watch.
I was heavily into my 19th viewing of "Bring It On." Kirsten.....ahhhhhhhh (drool, a la Homer).

Then I realized that TNN is showing a marathon of ST:TNG. 18 hours a day (except for the 6 hours of paid programming) for the next few days!
