This is perhaps the best frakking thing I have ever seen. It's an op-ed piece of a conversation between Obama and fictional President Jed Bartlet, written by Aaron Sorkin. I have never missed "The West Wing" more than in this moment. As pathetic as it sounds, I frakking SQUEED, quite literally, like I haven't since BSG's "Sine Non Qua" and the ending of "The Hub", for several minutes. I hugged my laptop.
I miss that show. I miss those characters. Jesus Christ, I want The West Wing back, damn it, and not that frakking crap it turned into in the last few seasons. You see, my mom doesn't understand how come I'm not Ms. Happy Camper when it comes to the last few seasons, because they're not really that bad. But when you read that article, how can you tell me John Wells' Jed was as good as Aaron Sorkin's?
My favorite part of the conversation is this part, because I can hear Jed so easily:
OBAMA The problem is we can’t appear angry. Bush called us the angry left. Did you see anyone in Denver who was angry?
BARTLET Well ... let me think. ...We went to war against the wrong country, Osama bin Laden just celebrated his seventh anniversary of not being caught either dead or alive, my family’s less safe than it was eight years ago, we’ve lost trillions of dollars, millions of jobs, thousands of lives and we lost an entire city due to bad weather. So, you know ...
I’m a little angry.
... Yes, I realize this makes me insanely geeky, squeeing over a fictional character and a conversation that never happened. DEAL WITH IT.
Edit: Emmys tonight! Nearly forgot. I'll probably live-blog it (I hope that means what I think it means) if only because it might give me something to do while I'm watching them. Oh, frak, I still have that frakking outline paragraph thing. Motherfrakking son of a bitch.
Edit 2: Also, Heroes tomorrow night! Three hour premiere! Frak yeah! ... And all the more reason for me to get my English done. *cough*
