First of all, who wrote this juvenile interview anyway? What kind of question is, "Do you think we'll ever have a gay president?" The author had a perfect opportunity to ask, "Do you think we'll ever have a Hispanic president...or Native American president?" As of July 2006, some statistics say that there were 44.6 million Hispanics living in the USA - by far, a greater demographic than the estimated .6 to 1.2 million gays living in the USA.
What a completely ridiculous and uneducated question in light of the significant emerging demographics of our nation.

Please fill in the following information and we'll email this link.
Another season, another administration takes over on "24." This time the president is played by Cherry Jones. She spoke with Ramin Setoodeh.
Congratulations, Madame President.
Well, thank you very much.
Are you filming now?
I actually just left the set. We're all hugging each other a lot these days. It's almost over after 15 months of being together.
So I take it you survive the season?
[Laughs] I don't know.
Did you have to audition to play the president?
I didn't. I got a call from my agent saying they wanted to meet me, I grabbed a couple episodes from the first season and was immediately hooked and fell in love with Kiefer Sutherland. It was the last thing in the world I saw coming. I haven't ever done television. I joke that I'm the only actor in New York who hasn't done "Law and Order."
Are you getting recognized yet?
No, not yet. I like to think that I look like such a different person that maybe I'll be spared a little bit of that. I've always enjoyed anonymity.
But everyone watches "24."
I'm so stunned by the demographic.
