Why would they cast her in this part? See link below.

• Irony?

• Because she is an actress, and her type fit the role (which she accepted, by the way)?

• Is there a role for Melissa Joan Hart or Angie Harmon on this show?

• R3 "This show" went off the air in 2006.

• The producers realize Cherry needed to expand her myopic political views.

• Because she's an actress?

• She's doing a send up on Marsha Blackburn. Marsha Blackburn is a hard core Republican out of Tennessee who is by no remote means LGBT friendly at all. I'm linking to a you tube clip of Marsha Blackburn in case anyone is interested. To me it is like Cherry Jones (who is from Tennessee) basically did a sly parody of Marsha Blackburn and I think that is really great because Marsha Blackburn is an intolerant minded piece of shit who sadly might one day become Governor of Tennessee.

• Sorkin also had Sarah Paulson as a Christian comedian on Studio 60, a rose that was loosely based on Kristin Chenowith.
