West Wing Star Brad Whitford Visits


Bradley Whitford, who played Josh Lyman in The West Wing, visited West Point Tuesday and Wednesday. A few of us were able to have dinner with him at the Thayer Hotel on post. We talked politics, Hollywood campaign donations, the powers of the presidency, and the genius of Aaron Sorkin.

Whitford has some advocacy videos on YouTube that better state his views. He says he votes for "Better Healthcare, and better Education... so basically hearts and minds."

It was an awesome - and at times surreal - experience for me, a West Wing fanatic.
