Well, according to third-hand information from JMS, he does. Joe posted this on Usenet:
So I was talking to Doug Netter this afternoon, who had in turn spoken with
Bruce Boxleitner earlier in the day about the year 2 DVD. In the course of
that conversation, Bruce mentioned something that Doug in turn mentioned to me.
To wit:
Bruce had been at the White House about a month ago, in the company of wife
Melissa Gilbert, president of the Screen Actors Guild, for a discussion with
some of the functionaries there concerning acting roles moving north of the
Canadian border.
As they're talking, in a long conference room, in the middle of the meeting the
door oens and Karl Rove -- main strategist for the Republican Party and power
behind the White House throne -- comes in. He says (paraphrased from memory)
to Melissa, "I hope you'll forgive me, but I actually here to see Bruce."
He then tells Bruce, "I just wanted to tell you that I'm a big science fiction
fan, and that Babylon 5 is the best science fiction television series *ever*."
Then there's a pause, and he adds....
"And the President thinks so too."
Upon hearing this, I went to lie down for a spell, but I fully expect to be
back on my feet by Spring, latest.

Is there some reason why JMS, who consistantly keeps B5 fans informed about B5 info, would lie about this type of thing? That JMS said this isn't disputed...
You either think:
- JMS lied
- Bruce lied
- Karl Rove lied
Find a reason for any of them to lie about B5...
