Life imitates art

TV's Bravo network this morning showed the episode of NBC's White House series "The West Wing" in which a charismatic but relatively inexperienced member of Congress - and a member of minority group, to boot - is elected to succeed the sitting two-term president.

Yeah, like that could ever happen!
