The T.V. show 24 is far from realistic. Still, what I have found annoying the past few weeks in the number of scenes that have the president and vice president in the same room. This works for dramatic effect, but everyone and their brother knows that in times of crises like a terrorist attack the President and  Vice President are separated. (in the case of the Bush administration Cheney is always away in his bunker running things) The reason I find the scenes with the V.P and president even sillier is that the show is obsessed with people following protocols and yet one of the most famous protocols is never followed.
