I learned from Tim Graham that the creator of Grey’s Anatomy is bringing her magic to the world of DC journalism. As a longtime mocker of pretty much all DC-based dramas (in fairness, the West Wing was at least at times good television), I’m looking forward to it. While the idea that the DC press corps is full of really hot women of easy virtue–just like the doctors of Seattle Grace, or whatever it’s called–is no doubt going to be the show’s greatest strength ratings-wise, the only realism will probably derive from Shonda Rhimes ability to capture self-pity and self-absorption from people who deserve to indulge in neither. Oh look at the poor underwear model surgeons! Life is so hard for them! Well, that’s actually much closer to the spirit of the DC press corps than, I would wager, it is to most big city surgical teams.
