    Yeah it's a bit weird but it kind of makes sense. As it is Nixon is the most recent real-life president mentioned in the show.

    So, I've been rewatching the show (no binging, just every now and then when I have a bit of time - usually while doing ironing :p). And I've got a couple of pet peeves:

    Toby keeps saying "I could care less". Erm, so that means you do care some non-zero amount? :p Surely you mean "I couldn't care less"?

    And in the episode where they're planning the public reveal of Bartlet's MS and there's the Haiti crisis, Leo calls for "calvary" in the situation room. Surely you mean "cavalry", Leo? You don't want anyone in the embassy crucified, do you? :p

    Still love the show, though. [face_love]

    right-wing justice christopher mulready ("the supremes") is the mob bank manager at the beginning of the dark knight who gets shot and gassed by the joker. actor is william fichtner.

    whenever i finally make one of these connections, it's like christmas morning in my weird little world.

    Under the heading of mind blown, this showed up on twitter the other day. It's an unaccredited role so it's not actually on IMDB, but the casting director confirmed it.



    Also, lol at the Butterball twitter making a West Wing reference.

    The best part of our annual drive to PA is the amount of West Wing Weekly we can listen to in the car...

    Naturally watched The Indians in the Lobby last night and this time really listened for Ana Gayster’s voice as the Butterball receptionist. Now that you know it is her, it’s definitely easy to hear.

    so i'm well into season 6 of a rewatch, and experiencing a new confusion, because i am also rewatching dexter (presently in season 3).

    jimmy smits is both an aspiring democratic presidential candidate and a rage-filled aspiring serial killer (scheming against the heroic serial killer), and they're blurring. would santos prefer to tie hoynes or russell to the table with plastic wrap? would rita or laguerda make a better vice presidential candidate after leo dies?

    i feel like this would make a good beezel thread.
