Art imitating Life?
Keep this in mind when you're watching tonights 2-hour 24 (from Thinkprogress):
The New Yorker profiles “24″ creator Joel Surnow, whose show has become a foreign policy guide for the right: “Every American wishes we had someone out there quietly taking care of business,” [Surnow] said. “It’s a deep, dark ugly world out there. Maybe this is what Ollie North was trying to do. It would be nice to have a secret government that can get the answers and take care of business — even kill people.“
I'm pretty sure he's gotten his wish, and has for quite some time. Again, from ThinkProgress:
The AP on lessons of the Libby trial: “‘What didn’t he touch? It’s almost like there was almost nothing too trivial for the vice president to handle,’ said New York University professor Paul Light, an expert in the bureaucracy of the executive branch. ‘The details suggest Cheney was almost a deputy president with a shadow operation. He had his own source of advice. He had his own source of access. He was making his own decisions,’ Light said.”
These guys just don't do irony, do they? Has anyone else noticed that the nefarious shadow operator in the last couple seasons has always been the Vice President (Greg Isitkiff and Powers Boothe)? And that CTU is about as incompetent as FEMA? Or James Cromwell's uncanny resemblance to George Herbert Walker Bush?
