Actor Bradley Whitford is best known as deputy chief of staff Josh Lyman on West Wing. While on the show, Whitford had to get by on something between $80,000 and $150,000 PER EPISODE.
When Whitford is not playing a liberal on TV, he plays one in real life on the Huffington Post.
One thing about liberals that is so admirable is their concern for the working class, those struggling to get by.

Page Six Magazine Interview
Q. What was your first apartment in New York like?
Whitford: It’s funny you should ask, because I recently got evicted from my $328 a month apartment on 88th and Columbus, which I started renting when I came to Julliard about 25 years ago. Apparently, rent control does not apply to people who are on TV. The landlord actually used the phrase “liberal hypocrite” to describe me, which was correct.
For a quarter century this jerk has been hording a rent control apartment in the heart of Manhattan. Incredible. I’m sure there are no single mothers working three jobs trying to provide for their kids who couldn’t use a NYC apartment for $328/month. One episode salary on West Wing paid for fifteen months worth of Whitford’s NYC rent.
This is disgusting, what an A-Hole.
UPDATE: It didn’t take long for John to let me know my math is way off. It is more like 38 years, not 15 months.
