THE RIGHT WING. Daily Pundit, seconded by the Ole Perfesser:
Liberal media promote ABC's 'Commander in Chief'
Screening & Discussion with Members of the Commander Writing Team, Eleanor Clift, Gwen Ifil, Helen Thomas, and President of The White House Project
Yes. I'll be on pins and needles waiting to watch a tv series about a woman President written by Eleanor Clift, Gwen Ifill, and Helen Freaking Thomas.
How about a series about a President who actually has brains and leadership qualities, written by Jonah Goldberg, Roger Simon and, well, me?
The froth was on him, I guess, and clouded his perception so that he didn't realize that Clift et alia were participants in a discussion, not the actual writers of the show. Or maybe he's just hostile toward objective reality, which has so often been shown to contradict his many opinions.
Nonetheless his idea for Prez porn written by the blogosphere's foremost numbskulls is an intriguing one:
DER PRESIDENT
Scene 1: Der Oval Office.
PRESIDENT SCHWARZENEGGER: (relaxing with a cigar) Ahh! I haff tekken a piss on ze piczure of Clinton! Life iz good! Ha ha ha ha!
CHIEF OF STAFF GOLDBERG: That was sweet, Mr. President! You know what would be cool? If you could work some quotes from Animal House into the State of the Union! (Turns to SECURITY ADVISOR SIMON) High five!

SCENE 2: SIMON and GOLDBERG Steadicam through endless West Wing hallways.
GOLDBERG: Once you get past the insane rages, he's rilly awesome.
SIMON: We have to get him to focus. This morning I gave him 12 countries to invade. He just kept spinning around in his chair and saying, "Ja, ja, I keel efferybody." How am I supposed to take that to the Joint Chiefs?
GOLDBERG: 'Member when he peed on Clinton? That was rilly awesome.
SIMON: Goddamn it! (yelling to 3,000 nearby junior staff) Has anyone seen my fedora?
SCENE 3: Some other impressive looking room.
PRESIDENT SCHWARZENEGGER meets with the Democratic Leadership, played by inanimate blobs of cookie dough.
DEMOCRAT 1: neener neener nee nee neener nee neener, nee neener neener nee nee ner.
DEMOCRAT 2: neener nee! (attempts to stand up, fails)
PRESIDENT SCHWARZENEGGER: Ah ha ha ha ha! Ah ha ha ha ha! (shoots them all to pieces with a potato gun)
SCENE 4: Some little room with people running around outside the windows, their brightness silhouetting GOLDBERG and PRESS SECRETARY COULTER within.
GOLDBERG: Oooh, I wanna kiss you, wanna kiss you so bad. You're blonde!
COULTER: Uh huh.
GOLDBERG: Der President called me Goldberg today. Usually he calls me Goldstein, or Untermensh! I bet he lets me run with him next time! Picture it -- Vice President Goldberg! Or Smith. I may have to change it. (stentorian voice) "Nothing's over until we say it is! Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America!"
COULTER: Have you seen my hand waxer?
GOLDBERG: 'Member when Otter and the guys went to that black club? That was rilly awesome.
SCENE 5: PRESIDENT SCHWARZENEGGER yells at the piss-soaked portrait of Clinton.
PRESIDENT SCHWARZENEGGER: You giff me a raw deal! Nobody giffs me a raw deal! (bares his teeth to the skies) Poppa! Can you hear me? Poppa, can you hear me? (to Clinton) Nobody giffs me a raw deal! (Unzips his pants)
(Aaaaand... scene.)
