West Wing: I'm just watching it for Janeane Garofalo

Hey NBC! I know you are monitoring all us g-level blogs for our responses to your shows. (I'm betting you sold Google monitoring to them, "Boss, it's great market research and it's FREE! Just Google these stupid bloggers and get their reactions! They are in the world's cheapest focus group and they don't even know it! Tell the money guys we are saving money and doing edgy things like reading blogs! They'll love it!")

So for your feedback forms:

1) I'm watching West Wing primarily because Janeane Garofalo is in it.

2) I was a long time viewer but stopped after Sorkin left and it became "ER on the Potomac" and all the characters started doing stupid stuff.

3) It's harder to watch now than ever. The fantasy "Wouldn't it be great if Martin Sheen was our President?" isn't cute to me anymore, it just makes me sad.

4) Behind the scenes at the West Wing Republicans' campaign is missing the one driving force that the real world has: Karl Rove. Rove's style and Karen Huges' sensibility shape our image of The President. Maybe Ron Silver will be The West Wing's Rove doppleganger, if so, let's see some of the real tactics Rove has used show up in their campaign. Things like: Smears, push polling, gay rumors, The Fake Christian card and guns, Guns, GUNS!

5) Now my fantasy question is, "Wouldn't it be great if the Press on the West Wing were like the press in the real world?" They ask real questions! They ask follow ups! Of course they also aren't intimidated and punished for those questions like in the real White House. (see this great story about how the White House intimidates the press. Atrios found it and I hope that the excellent writer Eric Boehlert uses it for his upcoming book, "Lapdogs: How Bush Got the Press to Heel."

6)Nice use of that douche bag Drudge. Oh, and way to add credibility to him writers, could you now please show how he is used by the Rovians to drive FAKE stories? He's probably celebrating this coverage with some hot douche bag on Jeff Gannon action right now!

7)If there was ever any doubt that Chris Matthews is an actor and not a real journalist it was this episode. Gee Chris, I'll bet being on the show was just like real life! You only ask hard questions of people when it doesn't make any difference! Yes I'm really glad you nailed the fake candidate to the wall, but it's a TV show! Hopefully now people can see that you are just an actor and not a journalist. You really delivered that fake outrage just like you were quizzing a real politician instead of Alan Alda. I guess if the script calls for you to be tough, you will be. We can't count on this jerk to deliver tough questions unless he is scripted and he wants to do it.

8) Loved Janeane, but I think the eyebrows are a tad too severe. Maybe it's just me, but since your casting of her got me back into the show, you should really listen to me so I'll stick around.

9) Having Jimmy Smits character say "I voted for it before I voted against it." as a way to show the viewers, "See, he's like John Kerry!" was just lame. We get it. We get it. Of course that could mean that he will be Swift Boated and will lose the election. But since this is Fantasy World maybe this time the press will do their job and the people will find out the dirty secrets behind the competitor's military service, financial shenanigans and corporate deals. That would be nice.
