Boston Legal has been doing a good job of oppos­ing the sta­tus quo in the Unit­ed States, and is bril­liant­ly fun­ny in the process. My thanks go to Isaac White for draw­ing my atten­tion to this series, and bring­ing over files of it to watch. This par­tic­u­lar episode is the fun­ni­est I’ve seen, and the best exam­ple of stand­ing up to the morons. It not only takes on the Iraq War, but Bush’s idi­ot­ic and destruc­tive edu­ca­tion poli­cies. While all the act­ing is good in this series, the best parts are when James Spad­er and William Shat­ner inter­act. Shat­ner has, over the years, matured into a bril­liant com­ic actor.
