Eat That Pride, BITCH!!

It's no secret that The West Wing has been canceled. When a network cancel a show, but they let it finish out the season, the producers usually pull out all the stops and try to go out with a bang. Whether it be surprise events, cameo appearances, or even the outcome of a presidential election, you've got to do something special to close it out. And The West Wing appears to be doing just that. Going to war, electing a new President, and, oh yes, some surprise cameos.

On the previews of the remaining episodes that followed last night's episode, they keyed us in to some of these cameos. Richard Schiff, who never really left the show, but has been in the background, will be back. Oh, and the most high-profile departee from the show will be back. Yes, Rob Lowe is returning to The West Wing.

For those of you who don't remember these things, Lowe left West Wing after feeling that he didn't have enough to do on the show. He was also making less money than the rest of the cast. So, he did what all disgruntled actors do: He went and got a production deal to make his own shows. And, in the two plus years he's been off the show, he's actually gotten not one, but two shows off the ground. So, his departure would be a great sucess...if only both shows hadn't been canceled before a half dozen episodes a piece. And that, my friends, is what we in the biz call a "total fucking failure."

And now, having seen that he's not going to have Clooney-esque success away from the show, Rob Lowe is back on The West Wing. How's that pride taste, Rob? Pretty bitter, I'd guess. Eat it up, now; you've earned it.
