Groping Women In The Bus

West Wing, namely: the tenuous line between reality and fiction

After a sensational trip to Bones (me and my wife we \u200b\u200bhave seen all 5 series than the episodes of the 6th have already been reported within a few months or less), I came back from the monkey The West Wing . I already started to see it years ago, and I had seemed like a great series, but for some reason I had dropped in half, and now, as they say, it's Back With a Vengeance, and when traveling to an average of two- three episodes per day. For the uninitiated, West Wing staffer tells of the life of the President of U.S. of A, working, in fact, in 'West Wing the White House (that of the Oval Office). Dialogues and fabulous music, great actors, themes of thickness but also considerable amount of irony, and especially the opportunity to peek behind the scenes of what is arguably the most influential post of job in the world.
Now. Although many experts (former employees of the White House, political, etc.) are judged as West Wing extremely realistic, I realize that it's still a work of fiction. I realize also that any parallel between POTUS and an Italian President (or Council of the Republic ) is risky at best: too many powers, the political landscape, the importance of international . I am also aware that a comparison between the U.S. and Italian fiction would be unforgiving if not altogether impossible. * I can say that the very idea of an Italian version of West Wing (Quirinale? Palazzo Chigi? Palazzo Grazioli? Palace Bunga Bunga?) gives me the straight hair, and it makes me shake his head sadly idea of \u200b\u200bwhat is ahead of us - at least in certain things - the Ienco ?

This video is the final episode of the first of a series of West Wing . Okay, it's rhetorical, bombastic, and remote-controlled U.S. until the mitochondria of cells, but, damn, it's also great television.

* Of course I can tell, this is my blog, what the heck.
