LOOK WHAT CSPAN DUG UP FOR US:

OH, TO BE A FLY IN THE WEST WING COME JANUARY 2009.

"Has he ever flashed that little stubby thing at you? It's appalling." YOU WIN, MISTER PRESIDENT-ELECT. YOU WIN.

Okay, so everyone and their brothers has probably said this in their comments already, but HOLY SHIT, THIS ADMINISTRATION! WHO NEEDS TELEVISION WHEN YOU HAVE FOUR STRAIGHT YEARS OF THIS? Thank you so much for sharing, I'm literally sitting here laughing my ass off. Between Rahm and Joey B and Barack's prim and proper and insanely adorable comedic skillz, I don't know how I'm going to get through the next four years without driving myself crazy with joy. I am just so happy with his choices so far, oh my goodness. They need to have monthly press conferences, just in general. I don't know I'LL HOLD A PARTY FOR EACH ONE, FOR REAL.

I also have to say when I first saw this post, I just saw Barack's face and the word fly and I was all, "MHMM" because FJDSLKFJDKSJFKDLJFKD I HAVE SUCH A CRUSH ON HIM, IT'S ALMOST EMBARRASSING.

DUDE, it's seriously insanely adorable how Barack is up there half-ruining totally hilarious jokes. Actually maybe that's what makes them so hilarious. I DON'T KNOW, I JUST WANT TO WATCH IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. BUT YES, OHMYGOD-- SCREW TERM LIMITS AND FICTIONAL THINGS, I suddenly just want this and them foreeeeeeever.

AND LOOOOOOOOOOOL, you are my favorite.

I KNOW! And the line in your subject in which he TOTALLY CRACKS HIMSELF UP. He's just so cute. I know he's our big tough president, but he's also just A REALLY CUTE MAN. When I saw that video, the video of his first press conference where he completely deadpanned the whole part about Sasha and Malia's new puppy, and this photo where he's clearly mid-blink (http://www.daylife.com/photo/0gDw6M6cJ2fEl/Barack_Obama) I literally squealed OUT LOUD: "OMFG OUR NEW PRESIDENT IS SO ADORABLE."

I may or may not have a serious problem here.

For some reason I do not interpret that as a blink so much as a smirky smug (uh, except those aren't the right words for what I mean to express? I can't think of synonyms for smug or smirk that carry more positive connotations?) face? EITHER WAY, AWWW.

BUT I DON'T KNOW. I'm just... really pleased at the array of personalities that are going to occupy 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue come 2009. JOERAHMBAMA!

...huh, I guess ship names aren't any less disgusting when they're meant platonically :(

[adinfinitum.livejournal.com]

No, I think I know what you mean! I don't know, when I see it, all I think is "mmmmm, cookies." Which probably furthers the whole HE'S TOO YOUNG AND INEXPERIENCED argument, but I DON'T CARE, WE ALREADY WON THIS SHIT.

For some reason, I'm slightly less disgusted by ship names when they're platonic? I vote for Jorahmabama. It has a special ring to it, IMO.

A week ago I might've still been fired up enough to pull some leftover "I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY CONTINUE TO CRY LACK OF EXPERIENCE WHEN PALIN IS ROUNDING OUT THEIR TICKET" indignation out of my ass, but now it's just funny. LOL @ YOU AND YOUR SAD LACK OF ELECTORAL VOTES, MR. MCCAIN.

OH, hey, you found ~the one~! It just rolls off your tongue. Brb, adding it to my interests.

It's pretty hilarious, I forgot Sarah Palin even existed on Election Day. It wasn't until I was doing my MSNBC Hardball/Countdown run through the next day when I was all LOL OH YEAH, HER. I feel kind of bad for her now though? The way the GOP is throwing her under the rails is pretty despicable. Yeah, I hate her with pretty much every fiber of my being, but I still think it's wrong to do this to her especially considering they FUCKING CHOSE HER TO BE VP. It's just further proof of how they've completely lost their moral compass. I wish some decent, normal people in the republican party would stand up and say enough to all this bullshit.

Haaaaa, amazing! I might just have to add it as well at some point.

[elapses.livejournal.com]

The McCain campaign was a wreck, they took a Republican who, four years ago, looked to be a sane, moderate-leaning, decent member of the party, told him he had to appeal to the Republican base, and then stepped aside and let us watch as he fucked himself over. And yeah, Sarah Palin-- I feel bad for her too. But I kind of feel like that's just the magic of the Republican party? The number of youtube videos I've watched today of Rahm calling various party leaders on their bullshit (WHEN DID THIS BECOME MY LIFE?) maaaaaaaay be skewing my world view today, though.

When did it become any of our lives? I think we're all in the same boat as you...at least Farah and I are!

Ugh, my crush on him is through the roof :(
