Dave Winer asks today "Does Rumsfeld read Scripting News?" The query runs parallel to a thought I had last night after watching The West Wing. I was hoping that there are people inside the oval office watching. The writers for the show seem to have a much better grasp of what is happening in Gaza than do the current occupants of the White House. The show did a fantastic job of presenting the complexity the situation and touching on the plight of the individuals caught up in the situation.

On the Tonight Show Jay Leno quipped, in a statement hopefully more prophetic than funny, that the New England Patriots have a better chance of returning to the White House next year (after a Super Bowl Victory) than does President Bush.
