message of the week...

[saturn]

Remember when Martin Sheen and Dule Hill and Richard Schiff and Allison Janney were on The West Wing?

Man. I don't want to like Alan Alda but I do. It's Alan Alda. Bring back James Brolin. Then I can hate easily. (Yes, yes. I know we're supposed to like Vinick. Or something.)

Bob Bruno is working for Vinick!?!? Did that happen at the end of last season? I vaguely remember that but it was stil disconcerting.

"I'm Arnold Vinick and I'll be the nicest president ever. I promise."

The Santos plane is cooler than the Vinick plane.

"Maybe because you're running against a Latino candidate who's going to get about...oh, 2000% of the Latino vote."

"We've got momentum baby! We've got the big mo!"

"You think I want to kill babies, George?"

Josh and Bruno? Awkward. "I made so much money on your campaigns I just might do this one for free." Thing is...I think Burno trumps Josh. "Slimy, sleazy, backstabbing mother –"

"I thought you said you were done." "I lied."

Leon's resignation..."The twins are 2 1/2 now. My mother-in-law just taught them how to say the word Santos. One day they're going to ask me what I did on this campaign. I can't tell them I did this. I can't do it."

I don't know. I the episode was okay but it's not The West Wing. Not really. COME BACK, SAM! COME BACK!


I kind of want Victor Sifuentes Bobby Simone Matt Santos Jimmy Smits.
