AARON SORKIN LEAVING THE WEST WING

[FDR]

I've been away from the net for a bit, the only place you get this sort of news. I'm gutted Nobody writes quite like Sorkin.

To V Potus (re signature): that was awfully nice of you

That quote has always stuck in my mind for a variety of reasons: the fact that I studied the civil rights movement in depth at uni, that my MA thesis was on white representations of blacks in popular culture, and that I recently had the misfortune to share a house with someone who not only had a limited tolerance of other races but also had an extensive collection of, yep, WWF videos

So (back on topic) as well as his writing, I will miss Sorkin's incisive verbal wit and quotability too

:'(I thought i was gonna have a heart attack when i read what was happening on the C4site. As i said on there- Aaron is the key to each character and they all come from his heart, i dont know what its going to do for the show and the morale of everyone in it. I have some faith in John Wells as iam a major ER fan but still..

MediaGuardian article about AS leaving.

Quite an interesting article. Most intreging(sp?) point, IMHO, is in the first paragraph.
