Ok, now I've had it, I've definitely had it.
When I start agreeing with the conservative, right-wing Republican leadership instead of with the 'independent' and 'liberal' President, then something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
First sending nine DEA agents as spies into an independent country, then showing outrage at the fact that oops, they were found out and not exactly welcomed with open arms, and then deciding to bomb that country from the threshold to industrialization back into the stone age - that's so ethical and morally admirable. And even pretending that coca fields and drug labs can be destroyed with surgical precision is the kind of self-deception that anyone with half a brain should immediately see for just what it is - a big fat lie. Peasants grow and care for the coca plants in endless, back-breaking work, heck, whole families harvest the resin. Whole villages work in the drug labs to produce the only export article they can actually make a living off. All those people won't magically disappear from those locations when the U.S. special forces show up to bomb and burn down fields and buildings - they'll die by the thousands instead and get swept under the euphemistic term of "collateral damage".
Who the fuck produces this series? Are they all in league with our dear Bubba and have about the same amount of IQ points? Are they criminally stupid or just happy enough to serve up entertainment to the brain-dead masses who are high on testosterone and low on brain cells? What is supposed to be their viewer demographic?
Anyone comparing "Commander in Chief" to "The West Wing" insults Aaron Sorkin's brains, work, dedication, inspiration... everything.
I have to stop watching this crap now, or else I'll scream. Geena Davis and her collagen-enhanced "bee-stung" lips can go to the already-canceled heap for all I care. Please, please, abc, do your name proud and pull the plug. I beg you.
