I really don't know what to make of this...

On a day when The West Wing won its third Emmy award, I hear there is a new US drama series, K Street, about a Washington lobbying firm. The show stars George Clooney and real-life political lobbyists James Carville (who gained fame guiding Bill Clinton to the presidency) and Mary Matalin (who was - until recently - an assistant to President George W. Bush). Guest stars are queuing up and even Howard Dean recently made a cameo appearance.

There is something good about getting Americans involved and aware about behind-the-scenes political processes, but there is also something quite distorted about turning real-life politics into fictional drama... Is Clooney planning a move into politics? Well, he has gotta be smarter than Schwarzenegger.
