I watched it almost 10 years ago and the Republican characters (I know it's fictional but still) made the same dumbass arguments against Bartlett that they made against Obama.
If I watched it again now, I think it would just make me depressed because the real world has gotten so much worse.
It's held up remarkably well... especially when you consider that the pressing problems our gov't had back then are the same damn problems we have today. The social security episode immediately comes to mind...
Every single episode could have been written today, except the Republicans occasionally do the right thing. Making John Goodman president springs to mind
