Aaron Sorkin and Lawrence O’Donnell were two of my favorite producers on the now defunct masterful political series, The West Wing. O’Donnell has since moved on to his own evening prime time show on MSNBC called The Last Word. Sorkin is hitting the political cable network shows to promote his new movie The Social Network.
When either of these gentlemen speak about politics and it’s unusal 2010 cast of characters, I listen…
To promote his new movie, “The Social Network,” screenwriter and producer Aaron Sorkin appeared on the first episode of CNN’s “Parker Spitzer” Monday night. In the process, he made some pretty harsh political statements, including calling Sarah Palin an “idiot.”
Sorkin went on to say that the former Alaska governor is a “remarkably, stunningly, jaw-droppingly incompetent and mean woman.”
(Hmm. Is this the way to promote a movie?)
Sorkin seemed to realize that his comments were probably not prudent as marketing strategy. He joked that he “actually went on TV and lost ticket buyers.”
