This blog had a few different names. As do I. No longer in use, but kept here as a record of what I wrote.

The West Wing: Favorite Clips
This isn't actually my favorite clip of Arnie Vinick. However, I can't find his quick piece of straight talk on ethanol in "King Corn", and this is about just as good. This works better as a clip as well, as the King Corn piece is rather short in comparison.
I honestly would have been happy with either Santos or Vinick winning at the end of the series. Alan Alda did an excellent job with this character, and its almost too bad that he wasn't in the show more. True, he was an idealized pro-choice version of John McCain (without the war record and S&L scandal). However, that isn't a reason to dislike the character. I was happy when he agreed to be Santos Secretary of State.
Up next will be a murderer's row of clips, from some of my favorite episodes.
