Obama/Rahm = BFFs! SHHHHHHHHHHHH, we don't want Biden to overhear and get jealous :(
I forget how far into TWW you are, Amy? Did you ever finish? Because it's eerily related to the stuff that goes on in the later seasons and there's a fabulous NYT article on it, but I don't want to a) spoil you, or b) asshattily assume that you don't already know all about it.
I read the article and I know about the end of the series, I just haven't watched it all the way through yet.
I'm only through half of season five (I was super busy over summer so I couldn't finish the series -- campaigns took up most of my time) and now my internet is lame and won't let me download things anymore? It'll just stall or not get far and I don't know why. Split files are the best, or half hour shows, but I've been trying to get Mad Men and TWW to download but they won't. :(
Joe's too cool to be jealous, but I was listening to NPR about whether or not Barack would take his opinions and advice into account and it made me sort of sad. I think Barack will be true to his word and is surrounding himself with fierce, opinionated people for a reason. ♥
Well real politics would trump fictional politics like that sometimes. And plus it's so easy to get stalled in season 5. It took the writers awhiiiiiiiile to figure out what to do sans Sorkin. That sucks about your internet, though :(
What were they saying specifically on NPR? But I agree and that's one of my favorite things about Obama -- maybe he does lack foreign policy experience but I absolutely trust him to consult with multitudes of people who have it in droves.
I guess the point of the article was that some vice presidents are rendered obsolete and don't do much or get much time with the pres (I think they mentioned Bush Sr. and Gore post '98, maybe Quayle? I don't remember, but definitely comparing Gore term 1 and Gore term 2). They were just critiquing the amount of power a Biden VP would have in an Obama admin.
NPR is my getting-ready background noise of choice.
