Some may think Sen. Paul

Some may think Sen. Paul Wellstone's (D-MN) announcement that he has MS is just like The West Wing. It's not even close. Wellstone only learned about his condition a month ago and has quickly told the world. President Bartlett knew he had the disease for years and (along with his doctor wife) deceived the public. One (real) man was honest about his condition, while another (fictional) man thought politically instead of ethically. Patrick thinks Aaron "Mr. Mushroom" Sorkin "misjudged political reality--again," but there's little comparison.
