Watching The West Wing season two where they introduce Ann Coulter's bubbly little sister Ainsley Hayes is a bit irritating when you realise, yes, self-critique of the liberal values the show is built on is all well and good, but when the show works from such a premise as Dixon of Dock Green, that everyone in the Government is working for the good of their community, that if there's any nasty people in there it's but a very small minority that'll get rooted out, when you have lines such as this delivered, with no irony:

AINSLEY: Say they're smug and superior, say their approach to public policy makes you want to tear your hair out. Say they like high taxes and spending your money. Say they want to take your guns and open your borders, but don't call them worthless. At least don't do it in front of me.
The people that I have met have been extraordinarily qualified, their intent is good. Their commitment is true, they are righteous, and they are patriots.
[after a moment, with tears in her eyes] And I'm their lawyer.

I mean, for fucks sake! Grow the fuck up! Republicans are corrupt, Democrats are corrupt, Labour are corrupt, Conservatives are corrupt.

And Santa nonces children.
