As John Podhoretz noted in last week's cover story on The West Wing, creator Aaron Sorkin mysteriously claims his show is not liberal, even though every political debate it stages is won by liberals. Which liberals at least recognize, even if Sorkin does not. The March 23 Daily Variety reports: " West Wing's John Spencer (chief of staff Leo McGarry) and Richard Schiff (director of communications Toby Ziegler) wing to D.C. Saturday to accept the Maggie award from the Planned Parenthood Federation of America for Outstanding Coverage of Reproductive Rights and Health Issues in a TV Drama Series -- for the courageous pilot in which the president sent a strong message to the leader of an anti-choice group."
What courage: pandering to the foremost political bias of the showbiz community, and receiving an award for it!
