The Good Wife Attacks Sarah Palin

Hollywood and the politics of Capital Hill have long been intertwined. Generally speaking, those tangled up vines lean to the left quite a bit. Not to say Conservatives don't get much exposure in the world of entertainment, but they sure don't get the kind they'd prefer. The press that Conservatives garner doesn't really fall into the "any press is good press" category.

Case in point, this 'dandy' of a character development on the show "The Good Wife" on CBS, who incidentally has had their own share of problems lately with another left-wing nut job - Charlie Sheen. The character is portrayed as a ballistics expert, Tea Party supporter and Sarah Palin fan whose name is Kurt McVeigh. Yes, like Timothy McVeigh the Oklahoma City bomber.

CBS signed off on co-creator Robert King's naming of the character and King stated that it was not intended to portray Republicans or the Tea Party in a negative light.

Really, dude? Are you sure about that? That's exactly what it does. Man up and say it because we all know it. Otherwise, we wouldn't be here talking about it.

If you don't like the political agenda of a TV show that's on the air, organize your network to communicate your feelings about it to the network. Do not just stand on the sidelines and let the liberals in Hollywood dictate to you what makes good television.
