Yeah, I just don't even listen to Harry anymore, because she's just SO GRATING. Gah! I think half my problems with the show would disappear if he just dropped the whole Conservative Christians Are People Too! schtick, because he's not doing it well at all.
I mean, Jed Bartlet was a pretty devout Christian (well, Catholic - I know in some circles that doesn't count, and I say that as a Catholic *snerk*), so it's not like Sorkin's incapable of doing it, it's more that he seems to think he doesn't have to, that he can have us get Harriet by authorial fiat because he's the Great Aaron Sorkin. Bah.
And yeah - I mean, I always enjoy John Goodman, but I was going WTF? during a lot of that stuff.
