"with that I'm going to get a cupcake"

LOL

"...because I like sex" HELLO!

[Dan Gurney]

I like how Ainsley defended Sam! Selena was the only character in the whole series who annoyed me every second she was on screen! I know she was intentionally unlikable but still..

Sam's comment could be seen as sexist, although he definitely didn't mean it in a sinister way - and Ainsley is his friend. I don't think he would have said that to one of his subordinates. CJ would probably lock his office door and hide the key if he said it to her. Ainsley's speech at the end is probably the only time I've ever agreed with her. The intern was out of line. But she did have a point to begin with.

In general, most self-righteous people are fairly annoying

[Surlish]

Celia was one of the most annoying characters in the West Wing.

[ZachsMind]

A tv series about a single republican stuck daily in a den of democrats would probably not be anywhere near as interesting as West Wing but it it was written this well, I'd watch it. Especially if she was Emily Procter. Wearing that dress. Woof.
