In the inaugural episode of West Wing Wednesdays, writers Alan Sepinwall (Rolling Stone) and Emily VanDerWerff (Vox) join Phil in discussing the pilot episode of Aaron Sorkin's television classic. How do the political views of this show hold up today, and do the views even matter if its entire viewpoint on politics is ludacris?
