Sheen Endorses Dean Martin Sheen, who pretends to be Josiah Bartlet, president of the United States, on NBC’s lib-fest “The West Wing,” gave his own endorsement, and seemingly that of his fictional character, to Vermont Democrat Howard Dean.

Dean recently took a visit to the “West Wing” set in D.C. He and his campaign staff are jazzed about the Sheen/Bartlet support, because Dean and the faux prez are former governors of a New England state, Democrats married to physicians, and far-left lovers of socialist ideas.

Sheen thinks Dean is “the best possible hope for the Democrats because he's not afraid to lose,” Glennis Liberty, the actor's publicist, told the Associated Press.

Actor Martin Sheen called Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush a "white-knuckle drunk" in a speech at a California treatment center Saturday.

A recovering substance abuser, Sheen expressed concern that Bush never received counseling after his 1976 arrest for drunken driving. "He's still in denial about it," said Sheen. "You have got to be in a program. I did not make up the rules about that."

FELDMAN: About a pre-emptive strike against Iraq. Suppose you are wrong. Suppose that is what's needed?

SHEEN: I don't understand how I would be wrong. Would there not be countless innocent civilians killed in Iraq with a pre-emptive strike? Do you discount that? Is that not right enough to speak at now?
