Today in Missed Opportunities or Small Miracles, depending on your enthusiasm for spectacle: Aaron Sorkin tells Newsweek that season two of The Newsroom just barely missed its chance to cover the Petraeus sex scandal. “Frankly it’s a story I would love to take on,†he says, for all the usual Shakespearean reasons. “Unfortunately season 2 of The Newsroom, which began shooting this week, our timeline literally ends the day before the Petraeus story broke, and I can’t include it. Otherwise, I would go there.†We’re not telling Aaron Sorkin how to run his show (in this post, anyway), but we would happily trade a Romney-47 percent tirade for some shirtless FBI agent hijinx. It’s not even like he’ll have to do that much writing; the email jokes already wrote themselves.Â
