Alternate diary title, for those wishing not to be spoiled on the West Coast: "White House Leaker Fired-- Albeit in Fictional "West Wing""
Tonight's "West Wing" was extremely well done, one of the best post-Sorkin. While long-time fans are likely be angry with the departure of Richard Schiff's character -- there since the beginning -- from the series as a regular, I think it was a long time in coming. Godspeed, Toby Ziegler, and it is my hope you stay out of the pokey.
The most interesting aspect of all this -- to me -- is that the producers and writers seem to have craftily timed this to the Plame investigation, which is likely to make some headlines this week.
It'll be interesting to see how much next week's episode of "Wing" captures what may happen this week.
