Political Animals

Last night, USA Network launched a series called Political Animals that documents the life of a fictional Secretary of State and her family- by and large an allegory of the Clinton dynasty.

I highly recommend it. If you like the West Wing, watch it, but don't expect its dialogue to surpass the wit of Aaron Sorkin. In any case, the show illustrates the pros and cons of leading a successful life in the political spotlight, and casts a riveting tale of female dominance in a male playing field.

Girl power. 

*** PLOT SPOILER ***
Sigourney Weaver, who plays Secretary of State Elaine Hammond, confides her wish to run for President again to a secret service agent. Hillary 2016?? I'm thinking yes!
