Hello Pot? This is Mr Kettle. Fox reports that Aaron Sorkin is apologizing to Tom Brokaw for remarks he made in New Yorker magazine.
Sorkin blasted Brokaw in this week's New Yorker magazine, saying that "The White House pumped up the President's schedule to show him being much busier and more engaged then he is, and Tom Brokaw let it happen - the show was a valentine to Bush."
Of course, had Aaron actually watched the show, he would remember Brokaw making that exact observation as the show began. Or maybe he did watch it, but just can't remember.
I know that if Sorkin had a chance to film a show about the inner workings of the White House, he wouldn't take any dramatic licences at all, and would tell it like it is. No romanticising of the president, no idealized picture of the people on the inside, just the simple unvarnished truth.
Yeah, right.
