VP Leo

The episode was so good. It was dramatic and exciting and had good twists and then BAM! Whose stupid ass idea was it to write in Leo as the VP candidate? No no no. This is a terrible idea for about a bazillion reasons, but let me tell you about 3:

1. Booze, pills, heart attack, like 80 yrs old - In the real world this guy would never be nominated as a VP. I say, "A guy falls in a hole and a friend jumps in the hole with him, but the entire country doesn't jump in the hole and nominate him Vice President."

2. Sorkin is rolling over in his grave - The Leo character that Sorkin wrote would have never never never taken a position like this. It is just not Leo's style. He's the guy behind the guy, not the guy in front of the guy behind the guy. Bah.

3. Leo who? - No one knows who Bush's COS staff is. Although Leo has played an integral role in the TV WW, even in fictional Bartlet America, no one would know who Leo is. Case and point, last night on IM with Ash.

Ash- No one knows the COS
D-Totally. I don't even know who Bush's COS is
Ash-It's Andrew Card
D- Well, there goes that theory...
Ash-I only know that cause I took some Poli Sci class
D- Whatever, nerd

BAH! I want Vinick to win, but now there is no way they will write out Josh, Leo, and Santos with a Republican win. Viva la Democrats!

I don't watch this show, so I never know what you're talking about. Can we change the subject?

Ok, it really is because I took the Poli Sci class and not because I am a Republican.

Also, I found Vinick's "Let's win this thing" at the end of the episode pretty convincing...I think they're still going to take it and the show will rock even more for taking such a ballsy risk by switching political ideologies and overhauling the entire cast.

Anon (plus number),
Yeah, sorry. I talk WW alot. It comes with the territory.

Ash,
Wrong - you know cause Bush is your secret lover.

And yes, that would be a "ballsy" choice, just like say having an asteroid crash in the earth! NO! Think like a TV producer (damn you John Wells) and ask yourself, "Who will want to watch my show if I change the entire cast except for Alda?" Now, he's great and all, but is he alone going to be able to maintain the entire WW viewership?

Why not? "ER" has overhauled their cast a bazillion times.
