Jonah Goldberg on Beltway & the Movies on National Review Online

Jonah Goldberg on Beltway & the Movies on National Review Online: "A common theme in Hollywood's treatment of politics is the notion that people with 'bad' ideas are also bad people (to its credit, West Wing occasionally resisted this cliche, though usually to demonstrate that decent conservatives have the capacity to learn how wrong they are).

Of course, this view is shared by many people outside of Hollywood as well. The problem is that it just doesn't jibe much with reality."

Goldberg speaks to the break between wishful hollywood politics, reality and the movie "Thank you for Smoking."
