She’s a Georgetown sophomore, speaks fluent Italian, always cleared the table when it was her turn. I’m interested in selling my youngest daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. “I wanted to ask you a couple of questions while I have you here. So take a short break from the endless speech-ifying of the 2020 candidates, won’t you, and let’s appreciate the speech-ifying of President Bartlet, with his 25 best speeches, moments, and one-liners:Ģ5. If his speeches are neoliberal drivel then, dammit, they are well written neoliberal drivel. But if we set aside these moments, and the fact that it’s somehow always raining during the most dramatic episodes, even the coolest and most jaded viewer can admit that the West Wing rhetoric was, occasionally, just a bit inspiring, especially when delivered by the (fictional) president. And every time they all lined up to say the same thing one after another. And yeah, sometimes it was (looking at you, “ Crackpots and These Women”). The Bartlet staff’s righteous (and self-righteous) elocution might seem - to the cynical - sentimental, treacly, smarmy, or just eye-roll-inducingly dumb. A highbrow, serialized drama with the central conceit of “good man tries to do good” instead of “bad man tries to figure out why he is sad” is relatively rare, which may be why the show’s chief strength is also its most oft-cited complaint: the speeches! The end of its run coincided with Deadwood, for chrissakes. The other big “political” show of the time was the violent 24. It aired concurrently with The Sopranos, whose anti-hero Tony begat Breaking Bad’s Walter White and Ray Donovan’s Ray Donovan. Take a minute to absorb to the idea.Ĭompared to other “prestige” television of the era, The West Wing stands out for its fundamental optimism. Both of those takes are probably correct but what if - and I know this is radical - we looked at The West Wing not as a referendum on the American political system but as a … television program. Conservatives dismiss the show as a pro-government fantasia where taxation is the panacea for society’s every ill, while liberals routinely point out how it’s rooted in a white, hetero POV that’s actually, ultimately, pretty centrist. Allison Janney’s CJ Cregg remains as brilliant as ever, but Josh’s neg-heavy courtship of his assistant Donna now seems not only immature but probably unethical. Or tries to.NBC’s The West Wing aired its final episode thirteen years ago this week, on May 14, 2006. He even bleached every surface in the bathroom, though I have no idea why.Īnd you didn’t think of warning Wonwoo when they moved in together this year? Jihoon says. It did wonders to get him to clean his room and do his laundry, though.

It takes a while for him to type the next bit, and Jihoon stares with increasingly dead eyes as the ellipses crop up in the chat box. I was roommates with him in freshman year and he couldn’t go an hour without touching himself. Yeah, Soonyoung can get pretty loud when he’s really feeling it, is Junhui’s less-than-sympathetic reply. I think Wonwoo’s having a mental breakdown over Soonyoung fingering himself, and I don’t think I can escape with my purity in tact. Help me, Jihoon tells Junhui as he hides inside the biology section.
