(S07E19) Can I tell you how much I liked the
opening scene with Josh on the airplane, going to see Sam in L.A. to ask him to be Deputy Chief Of Staff? I liked that
Josh interrupted him in the middle of a law firm meeting (shades of "In The Shadow Of Two Gunmen"), and the
banter outside the building was just like old times. I really think it's odd -- really odd -- that Sam says nothing
about Leo or apologize for not being there (they should have at least mention that Sam had called), but I'm not going
to quibble with that. In my mind, he did call. While Josh tries to get Sam back in the White House, the President-Elect runs afoul of the President ...or does he?
By now you have probably heard about the death of
West Wing star 
The West Wing star John Spencer, who played Leo McGarry, died today in a Los Angeles
hospital of a heart attack, according to his publicist. Spencer played Chief of Staff to Martin Sheen's President Jeb
Bartlet. On the show, ironically, Spencer's character suffered a heart attack that forced him to give up his White
House gig. In a main storyline this season, though, his character had been tapped as a vice-presidential running mate
for Democratic hopeful Matt Santos, played by Jimmy Smits.
