The West Wing disappoints for the first time ever

Oh dear, I never thought I'd do this, but I have to pan this week's episode of The West Wing.

1. Jimmy Smits sounds like a New Yorker who thinks people in Texas talk like they are from Harlem. Who are their voice coaches? Given that W claims to be Texan but talks in that weird Connecticut/Texas whine/drawl I guess I can understand the confusion.

2. To date the election cycle in the West Wing universe has been exactly 2 years ahead of the election cycle in our universe. Suddenly, we leap a year ahead--the election cycle, based on the timing of President Bartlett's meeting with the DCCC, is only 3 years this time.

3. The blond chick interviewing for the deputy press secretary position has just appeared--but I can already tell that Toby's gonna take a chance on an unknown kid. It's too much.
