so my question for the idea- is this mandating background checks or simply allowing them? if small biz owners are allowed to check everyone, will they, or will the checks be contigent on some 'other' applicant factors?
Ainsley and Sam were the best. I loved their initial scenes, on the TV show debating an issue. Josh ran through the offices to yell at Toby "Hurry! Sam's getting his ass kicked by a girl!"
Emily Proctor was brilliant. Then Matthew Perry got to be the smart Republican in the group.
No, but because I am familar with Sam's character, with the way Ainsley came to be recruited - i.e by showing Sam up live on TV etc. He's still very suspicious of Ainsley. A viewer I know more about Ainsley than Sam does. I know Ainsley is intelligent (as does Sam), witty, patriotic, dedicated to 'serving'. I know she's one of the good guys. He doesn't, so he's testing her out with a crude/false stereotype (all R's are racist). She 'passes' with flying colors. Justmy opinion.
My favorite part about Sam was that he unlike other people like Toby for example took the time to listen to people like ainsley. We need more people like him in politics today. If both sides took the time to listen to each other life would be very different.
As someone said on earlier position the West Wing could show how ridiculous Democrats can be too. Sam right away went to the race card and Ainsley had facts to back up her claims that had nothing to do with race.
@thewildone - the trade off is that wearing great clothes will get her taken seriously, and being 10 pounds underweight at all times will get her listened to. She knows she's in a food rich environment, so if she realises she's starving, she can fix it fairly quickly. Also, once someone's fed you, they're automatically subconsciously on your side forever. They feel more powerful, but you actually have more power. Perfection cubed.
The next ten seconds after the end of the clip realle drive it home. Seeing everyone go about business as usual while she's coming to grips with the fact that her opinion is about to become policy is great. This isn't theoretical politcs anymore... she's in the big game.
"The West Wing" was often criticised for it's liberal outlook, however the series also showed conservative characters who were intelligent, thoughtful and fair minded (ie: Ainsley Hayes).......
Despite the potshots that the Republicians took during the run of the series, the show's writers were smart enough not to group them all into the same category....
The series could also demonstrate from time to time just how stupid some Democrats could be as well....
i love ainsley and her random food cravings in the middle of arguments. i especially like the "can i have this muffin?" or "i'm going back down to the mess, because i thought i may have seen there, a peach." they're completely different episodes, but i still love them.
It's too bad Ainsley didn't become a member of the regular cast. She had much better chemistry with Sam than anyone else they threw at him, and she was a reasonable voice of opposition. The show would have been perfect with her.
AARGH!!! You cut it off ten seconds too soon!! She looks around the Communications Bullpen and then - for the only time in the entire series - breaks the veil and looks straight into the camera. At us. For a full beat. And smiles, ever so slightly, having marvelled at the reality of where she is. It's the only time that any of the actors gives us a knowing wink, that they get it, that some things are too big and too important not to just stop and marvel.
There is no way a woman with her figure eats that much! Its not right or fair! How come I put on everything I eat and she eats everything in sight and looks like that!!! I'd hate her if she wasn't so fuuny and cute!
@Lauranna Because, when you work in the White House, you have no time for a life or to eat anything at all unless it's on the run (or in front of a thousand television cameras). Plus, all those long walks they take are really tiring.
LOL that should be the standard comeback to all complaints.
And Sam marching into his office, Ainsley pointedly waiting outside, and then watching him wander back out is simply priceless, especially on the re-watch.
The scene cuts short at the end when she's standing in the communications bullpen, looking around and realizing for the first time that despite being in a building full of Democrats, she's getting the dream she had since "oh, only since [she] was four":
She's making a difference at the highest level of government. In the White House.
