"Rock Center" with Brian Williams - Aaron Sorkin and Madonna Badger (Video)

Despite my lingering bitterness about the last couple of seasons of "West Wing,"--yeah, I've got to work on that whole holding grudges thing--I'll still watch this interview with Aaron Sorkin on this Thursday's "Rock Center."

He'll be talking about his writing style and his new HBO show, "The Newsroom" which premieres on Sunday.

On a much more serious note, this week's episode will also have an interview by Matt Lauer with a woman, Madonna Badger, who lost her parents and her three daughters in a Christmas Day fire in Connecticut. The house was under construction and the fire started from fireplace ashes disposed of in an adjacent mud room.  

It's hard to imagine a tragedy much worse than that.
