The West Wing Weekly

3.16: The U.S. Poet Laureate (with Television Without Pity and David Wade)

We’re joined by two of the co-founders of the website Television Without Pity, Tara Ariano (<a href="https://twitter.com/TaraAriano" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@TaraAriano</a>) and Sarah D. Bunting (<a href="https://twitter.com/TomatoNation" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@TomatoNation</a>), to discuss the lemonlyman.com plotline—inspired by Aaron Sorkin’s own posts on TWoP. We’re also joined by David Wade (<a href="https://twitter.com/davideckelswade" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@davideckelswade</a>) who was national spokesman for then-Senator John Kerry’s presidential campaign and who later served as Secretary Kerry’s chief of staff. We compare President Bartlet’s hot mic moment in this episode with a famous one from John Kerry when he was a candidate.
