ABC's anti-Religious Talking Points

I watched two premiers on ABC tonight: the series premier of "Commander in Chief" about America's first woman president and the season premier of "Boston Legal".

Here's a thought: how likely is it that two back-to-back shows in primetime on a network would have script elements taking a cheap shot at Creationism?

For example, one of the lines in the opening of "Commander in Chief" implied that if the Republican Speaker of the House becomes President, then we'll have "...book burnings, Creationism in the classroom..." . "Boston Legal" contained a similar cheap shot after showing a montage of religious statements made by presidents.

I knew "Commander in Chief" was going to be a show with a liberal bias in the mold of "The West Wing". And it lived up to that with it's dose of liberal hysteria.

It's was a fairly good drama, and I'll probably watch it. And, of course, I'll enjoy heckling it each week.

I only have one request: could they send the script writers who wrote this character of a strong female chief executive to Louisiana to aid Governor Kathleen Blanco who, in stark contrast to the Geena Davis character, became a blubbering, paralyzed, and ineffective leader in the face of a real emergency?
