Do you need an antidote to the White House of today? I just finished binging all seven seasons of the The West Wing. Yes, it scooped up many weeks, but boy was it worth it. As the impeachment, the campaigns, our policies foreign and domestic played out, there was the prescient series—that I had never really seen-- which eerily mirrored the mess of our time.  Aaron Sorkin presented us with an insider view culled from real insiders like DeeDee Myers, Clinton’s press rep. I found myself smiling, crying, and impressed by the consistency of the writing and acting even if the signature ‘walking and talking’ made me want to strap Fitbits to the cast. If only.
