Politics as Unusual!

Thomas P. Powell's political ascension was both unusual and yet very American. From traffic cop to vice president of the United States, Thomas climbed up the ladder of public service, often due to the push of random acts and not-so-happy accidents. However, Thomas believed it was due solely to his singular and innate moral authority. What matters is what's within; that's the Powell political philosophy. Then, on the cusp of his grasping the last rung on the American political ladder, something truly within suddenly appears. A horrible homunculus, an impetuous imp, climbs out of Thomas's right ear to bedevil his nights, confuse his days, and take him on a crazy, wild, dreadful, and nuclear journey.

It's The West Wing done as an episode of The Twilight Zone.
