Thanksgiving At The West Wing

The weird thing about The West Wing is that it would probably never fly now because the real West Wing these days is so much more interesting (and at times stranger than any fiction Aaron Sorkin could come up with). That said, a number of people appeared less than impressed with President Obama’s turkey proclamation the other day, which brought to mind this scene. Also below, President Bartlet calls the Butterball hotline.

The Katie Holmes flick is kind of dark, but it might make one appreciate the fact that their family isn’t quite as dysfunctional. I don’t know if it’ll remain online, but while it’s there and if you’re up to a YouTube multi-part, I’ll recommend it along with pretty much everything else in this list.

I was really surprised to see “The Ice Storm” recommended on that other list. It’s a depressing film about some very sad confused people, and not family fare by any measure. Not a _bad_ movie, but not the sort of thing you want to watch on or about Thanksgiving.I appreciate Kurt’s sentiment, but “Blackhawk Down” does not belong on the Thanksgiving list either.

CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin: Supreme Court Will Not Overrule ‘Deem and Pass’

by Frances Martel | 5:44 pm, Friday

video

Bad news for Republicans should they be counting on using the Supreme Court as a last resort to block the Senate health care reform bill. Jeffrey Toobin visited Rick Sanchez today to talk about the chances of success Republicans will have if they try to legally oppose a "deem and pass" vote that would indirectly put the bill on the President's desk, and he didn't waste any time in telling the GOP that, quite simply, it's not going to happen.

CNN’s John King, USA Premieres On Web With Rehearsal Show

by Steve Krakauer | 4:47 pm, Friday

video

There are two very distinct things to note about the way CNN has introduced the upcoming 7pmET show John King, USA to its audience - the show itself and the way it happened. John King hosted a trial run of the program today on CNN.com/live, which gave a sneak peek at what the show will be, but also gave viewers a chance to give their take on the first look.
