Where's Rip Taylor?

The single most unrelentingly bleak episode of WEST WING, ever. Every character is receiving or dispensing misery. It's all tightly-written and acted, but...if ever we needed a little Rip Taylor, it's now. We do, however, have a little...Skeritt! Tom (M*A*S*H, ALIEN, STEEL MAGNOLIAS) drops in for a one-off as a democratic senator who switches partys. Will's defection to Russell is done, short-shrifting all the potential he had as a member of the inner circle. This move would have felt less clumsy if they'd had a scene of Leo overruling Toby's protests and allowing Will to go because Russell (the second-most important person in the land) needed much more capable handling.
