Countdown: 4!
4 more minutes! Jumpin’ jimminy… the West Wing featured the abbreviation “POTUS” in the pilot episode way back in 1999. Back when the idea of a democratic president didn’t seem so foreign, the Left Wing… err… I mean the West Wing showcased a bunch of young liberals running the country. Now, that’s what I call entertainment.
Disclaimer: I am a fan of the West Wing and think that Steven Soderbergh’s genius was so strong in the early years of West Wing that he should be given a special presidential waiver to be able to continue using cocaine as long as he continues producing TV shows. I also believe he never would have been busted for coke if the West Wing was about a Republican White House…
