Review of West Wing Moment


Throughout "West Wing Moment" producer William Nelligan proves to be a great orator. William authoritatively tells us how the popular television series "The West Wing" became a gateway for his political interest. First it was "The West Wing", then history novels, and finally The New York Times; the accumulation of these things led William to to experience poliitcs up close and personal by going to the New Hampshire primary.

I genuinely like this piece, especially in the way that William is able to deliver it. He sounds like a bonafide news radio journalist. I do feel however that William comes off to be a little condescending towards his piers at times.

William ends the piece nicely by going back to the main idea behind the piece, signing off with an optimistic declaration that others his age will find their gateyway into the political landscape, aka their "West Wing Moment."
