It was a decent episode: very Aaran Sorkin.

The episode starts out with the a news anchor (at a college interview) and losing his **** when asked why America is the greatest country. He goes onto how we're 20th here, 120th there, etc and the only thing we're #1 is in military spending.

While everything is captured by cellphones by the audience.

BUT he then goes onto saying how America WAS the greatest, why it was the greatest, and how it CAN be the greatest again.

But... from the sounds of the following scenes... the only thing that got through to the talking heads was the first part and his "unpatriotic" rant.

Actually, the whole speech was darn great.
