Great West Wing episode (LemonLymon.com)

[Catch22Dem]

That one has always given me a great laugh. I was already a DUer when it first aired. I can't remember if I was posting yet, but I was definitely lurking around. Anyway, back then it reminded me of a FEW DUers. I just re-watched it today, and it pretty much reminds me of ALL of GD now.

Holy shit, that's a hilarious little story line.

Donna: "Josh, you've gone rooouuunnnd the bend!"

1. I was just watching that very episode on DVD not an hour ago!

B-)

Great TV series. Kept me from going insane during the B*sh years...

[Catch22Dem]

2. No doubt, same here!

Bravo runs two episodes per day in the morning. I record them and watch them later. At two per day, you get through seasons pretty damn fast.

3. that's a great episode

cj's response when she learned he posted on the site is classic

"Let me explain something to you, this is sort of my field. The people on these sites: they're the cast of 'One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest.' . . . I'm telling you to open the ward room window and climb on out before they give you a pre-frontal lobotomy and I have to smother you with a pillow. . . ."

:rofl:

[Aristus]

4. "So, you're..."

"Yes, I'm Chief Bromden!"

[Catch22Dem]

7. And she continues

CJ: "I'll shove it so far up your..."

Josh is laughing

CJ: "What?"

Josh: "It's just that I kinda outrank you..."

CJ: "SOOO FAR UP YOUR..."

Sorry, that was from memory, but it has to be pretty close.

5. you gotta read the episode recap on televisionwithoutpity.com

they HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE that episode. The recappers took the episode VERY personal and spend the recap trashing Sorkin.

Edit: Here's the recap - http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/the_west_wing/the_us_poet_laureate.php

6. Oh, thanks for that!

Hilarious. I think the "recappers" took it personally because they totally fit the stereotype and KNEW it. Yes, head recapper, you ARE one of those control freaks.

[charlie and algernon]

10. you're welcome

yeah, it's pretty funny how personal they take it. I didn't last long in their forums, it is VERY structured and controlled. Not only will the mods control you, other posters won't hesitate to tell you you posted wrong. I started a thread on some random topic and they found a thread that dealt with the same topic but hadn't gotten a reply in MONTHS, so I got a "warning message from the mods, lol. :rofl:

8. People on these sites tend to be a little hysterical

DONNA - You don't know these people.
JOSH - Neither do you.
DONNA - Oh, yes, I do.
JOSH - What's wrong with them?
DONNA - Nobody knows.
JOSH - These are people taking a very healthy interest in government. They should be applauded.
DONNA - Then applaud them, but stay off the site.
JOSH - These are the people talking. I'm not an elitist.
DONNA - You are an elitist.
JOSH - I am an elitist, but I have respect for people who don't measure up.
DONNA - People on these sites tend to be a little hysterical.


JOSH - Seems to be a very unusual social structure. For instance, there is leader who seems to pride herself on her organizational skills and a certain amount of discipline.
DONNA - Right. That's what's called a control freak.
JOSH - (getting visibly upset) Well, she does seems to do an awful lot of scolding. "You've posted in the wrong place. Stay on topic people. Don't use capital letters. I don't have time to tell you twice," when clearly, she does have time to tell us twice. But that's not the problem.
DONNA - No.
JOSH - "Someone need to deal with Josh's planet-sized ego, by teaching him government 101. Who made him overlord of the Democratic party?" And someone else writes, "Is Josh delusional, or is he actively trying to destroy the separation of powers?"
DONNA - Well, are you?
Josh - No.
DONNA - Then turn off the computer, shut these people up, and let's go back to work.
JOSH - I think I need to clarify my original post.

9. What's wrong with them? Nobody knows.

That was great. The question wasn't asked that way, but Donna just laid that little doozy in there. I thought it was hilarious.

11. ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?????????

Much like what NBC had to do with www.hornymanatee.com (from a Conan O'Brien monologue) Warner Bros. probably felt that they had to register it lest they be held responsible for its content had someone else developed it.
