Leo

Oh yes, and RIP Leo McGarry. Oh, sorry, I mean John Spencer.

Other than the strange parallels between Spencer and his best-known role as Leo McGarry in the West Wing (both were recovering alcoholics, both threw themselves into their work, and McGarry had a major heart attack in S6 of West Wing and recovered, while Spencer died of a massive heart attact) I think one of the strangest/saddest things about this is that he was only 58 when he died. I’d always thought he was at least ten years older than that, for some reason.

But damn, carking it at 58? (ok, nearly 59, but who’s counting?) That’s definitely not good.
