I don't really follow politics very much anymore. I seem to kinda stay in tune by scanning blog headlines from time to time, but as a whole, I don't keep up with the day-to-day stuff like I did a few years ago.
Well, except for the politics of the Bartlett administration and the Santos and Vinick campaigns. But it's really easy to keep up with that -- it's only an hour a week and my DVR captures it so I can watch it whenever I get around to it.
Having said that, I heard a radio report on the way back to work this afternoon that announced the resignation of someone (Chief Of Staff, maybe?) in the current administration (I think linked to the Vice President) resigning due to something related to the CIA leak. Now, I really don't know a lot about all of the details, but he shouldn't have resigned -- he should have been fired.
That's what Jed Bartlett would have done, anyway.

Nope. Jed Bartlett would have told him to submit his resignation ASAP.
***SPOILER ALERT***
It went something like this:
Toby: I have prepared a leter of resignation.
Jed: What is that, like the third one you've attempted to tender?
*silence*
Jed: Rip it up.
Toby: What?
Jed: Rip it up. I can't accept it. I'm going to have to fire you.
I was really digging that scene. And Toby wasn't even indicted yet. So, when I heard about real life indictments today being followed by a resignation instead of a dismissal, I was quite disappointed.
Fictional politics, however, is entertaining. And since it is fictional, it can be entertaining.
