vox populi vox deus

A lot of broo-hah-hah this morning about the Archbishop of Canterbury admitting there are bigger problems in the world than Anglican disestablishment. As someone who was brought up in a disestablished Anglican church, and yet still has time for what Dr. Williams has to say, I would tend to agree. Nah, I'm instead going to make a fuss over Rowan's choice of targets for some tenuous linkage:
The archbishop also [...] appears to compare himself to Josiah Bartlett, the fictional president played by Martin Sheen in the West Wing. He says: "It's so consoling to watch those episodes when something goes terribly wrong - you know the president says something that is misinterpreted ... and you think, 'Now what does that remind me of'?"

For shame, Rowan. Taking the Bartlet's name in vain. The journalist's typo shows his own ignorance, but Guardian readers united are going to be descending on you like a ton of bricks...
