I know. Nothing really makes my stomach flip over like this one. I think the only themes that are anywhere near it in terms of awesomeness are Futurama and MASH.
One of the most evocative theme tunes to one of the most inspirational TV programmes of our times, even to a cynical Brit like myself...and now reality (almost) seems to be mirroring fiction. Interesting times people...
Great post! I knew that Josh Lyman was based on Rahm, but didn't know that the character of Ari the agent on Entourage was based on his brother. That coupled with the fact that his other brother is an oncologist and his mom was arrested a few times during civil rights marches, it makes me really want to sit down at a dinner with this family. What a fascinating family this must be. I think our prez made some great picks so far.
Maybe so, but I'm willing to give the man the benefit of the doubt and see how he does before I start getting paranoid and calling him a communist; just like I gave Bush for 8 years before calling him an ignorant would-be dictator.
Actually, Aaron Sorkin wrote a short dialogue between Bartlet and Obama back during the campaign. If you google search for (Obama Bartlet NY Times), you should be able to find the scene - it was published in the New York Times.
Yes! I remember it! Totally forgot about that. It seemed like a fantasy then, just the way the West Wing seemed like a fantasy. I'm going to dig it up.
That was great! All of us West Wing Nuts can appreciate this because Obama is our Bartlet. Well, More like our Santos. Who's character was patterned after Obama. Fun facts to know and tell.
Sorry korry74, but virtually all WW production have debunked this theory. Most notably Lawrence O'Donnell. Pls refer to my previous posts on this issue.
As for the Martin Sheen comment, he is politically active in RL as was many of WW's cast, excluding John Spencer who was a veteran actor (Bravo old friend!) *Rolls eyes back at your suggestion*
Whispers of Brad Whitford considering a congressional run. I hope it comes to pass he is one of only a handful of decent Democrats that do good.
Wow, this was a film that needed to be made. A combination of the hopeful and positive spirit from the west wing and the Obama campaign. I hope Obama wins. Cause I think he can bring back some of that feeling to america. I am from Norway but I sincerely hope that Obama wins and that he can bring a positive change to what is happening now! God bless
Thanks for the MSNBC credit..

If there is a TV show with a greater intro song than the West Wing, i'd love to hear it.

Fuck no! Rahm makes Josh look like a Republican. If Rahm was any more of a leftie he'd be a communist.

Time to update it though, with Rahm-bo as Chief of Staff (who Josh Lyman is based on)
It's eerie how similar this election played out compared ot the last season of WW.

Is Josh Lyman really based on Rahm Emanuel? I didn't know that.

I'll probably do something early next year, once Obama lines up his senior staff and there's time to find photos of them in Washington!
