From 911Encyclopedia:
Popular US-TV show on the White House staff and the President of the United States. The show "smuggled in" some ironic details on the "war on terrorism". Aaron Sorkin is creator of this television show. In March 2002, Sorkin said in an interview, "...it's absolutely right that we are all laying off the Bush bubblehead jokes. But that's a far cry from what the New York Times and CNN and others on whom we rely on for unvarnished objectivity are telling us, which is that "My God, on September 12 he woke up as Teddy Roosevelt". In October 2002, actor Martin Sheen, who plays the President in "WestWing", criticised the War against Iraq at a protest in Central Park, NYC (20000 visitors). In February 2003, Sheen headlined a TV ad debuting in Los Angeles and the nation's capital urging Americans to join a Feb. 26, 2003 "virtual march" on Washington to oppose a war with Iraq.
