I'm bringing sexy back!

1. Rahm has accepted the Chief of Staff job. FINALLY. I win all the cookies. I know you lot don't quite understand my love of Rahm Emanuel, so I will sum it up like this: Clooney in 2008 is totally hitting the Capitol. Rahm is the older brother of the real life Ari Gold.

Imagine if Nathan Petrelli and Ari Gold had a baby, and you get Rahm. Seriously. HE IS SO MONEY. Best administration EVER already. Rahm is totally going to turn D.C. out.

Imagine if Nathan Petrelli and Ari Gold had a baby, and you get Rahm.

That is possibly the best description of him ever.

P.S. It breaks my brain a little that Ari Gold and Joshua Lyman are fictional brothers, so to speak.

God, I can just imagine Ari during the Bartlet years.

1. OMG. *HYPERVENTILATES*

[ladydey.livejournal.com]

Who knew that if you think something hard enough it comes to pass!

Aren't we so lucky that you envisioned Clooney 2008 and we all loved it like cookies so much that we helped will it in to being.

So what else do we now need to work on to make happen?!?

[elzed.livejournal.com]

You win all the cookies.

And I look forward to more tidbits from Newsweek. Although Palin's ignorance makes me marvel at the state of education in Alaska, and not in a good way. WHat's the deal? Eliminate evolutionary science and any kind of fact-based knowledge from the curriculum? I am beginnign to understand why her college career took her to half a dozen different places...

And I do find the idea that people relate to this attitude because they distrust elitists and want people who are on their level truly dispiriting.

Or rather, I would if she had been on the winning ticket.

Democracy - weeding out the morons! (well, this time)
Hee.

1. Yes! The hotness of the future White House is a bit unexpected but *not* unwelcome.

I saw on CNN that Rahm has been a ballerina. (No further information)

.......


Discuss.

20 Facts about Rahm Emanuel (http://defamer.com/5077522/20-rahm-emanuel-fun-facts-for-a-new-ari+friendly-white-house)

We were just looking at pictures of Obama's speech writers and they're hot too! I am so excited for the Hot Ass white house!

Officially this administration is completely made of sex and now I'm worried America will never be able to get anything done ever again because now we're all going to be super busy thinking about all of them with their shirts off :(

Oh man, I wonder just how much the GOP will be able to keep quiet about Palin now that the election is over. Just, just the Africa comment and shopping sprees, not to mention the interesting turn on Trooper-gate, alone is going to provide people with so much fodder.

Dude, how much do I love that the brothers each inspired a tv character? So freaking awesome, I cannot process completely.

Also, like I was going to tell SK, I tried to learn all the countries in Africa when I was a kid. And I was doing really well at the memorization, except that I was learning off a globe that dated from the 60s (light bulb inside, totally fab!), but seriously -- even THAT was better than Palin. It's mindboggling.

Bartlett : Oh, Roger, if anything happened, you know what to do, right?
Roger (Agri Secretary) : I honestly hadn’t thought about it sir.
Bartlett : First thing always is national security. Get your commanders together. Appoint joint chiefs. Appoint chairman. Take them to Defcon 4. Have the governor send emergency delegates to Washington. The assistant attorney general is gonna be the acting A.G. If he tells you he wants to bring out the National Guard, do what he tells you.

Bartlett : You have a best friend?
Roger : Yes sir.
Bartlett : Is he smarter than you?
Roger : Yes sir.
Bartlett : Would you trust him with your life?
Roger : Yes sir.
Bartlett : That’s your chief of staff.

So, if Josh Lyman was based on Rahm, and Matt Santos was based on Obama, SOMEWHERE THERE IS A MRS. LANDINGHAM. Get on that, Barack.

I always wanted to live in the Bartlet-verse

4. Rahm is the inspiration for Bradley Whitford's character Josh Lyman on The West Wing.

!!!!!!!!!!! ::WANTS::

I loved Josh even when he was being a giant prat. I loved him *because* he was occasionally a giant prat.

Rahm is the best anything ever. I want to mount him like a pony.

[sapporonoodles.livejournal.com]

The newsweek thing has become my crack. Like, no joke, it is political fanfic in that it is all the things we wanted to know but never did. The only word i can think of to describe it is 'delicious.'

it also made me kind of want to give john mccain a hug and share my juicebox with him like he was the kid who just got beat up on the playground though.

and can anyone really blame obama for not wanting to work on a project with rick santorum. it's fucking rick santorum.

More Rahm fun facts! I do believe this will amuse you.

You are going to write Rham fic, right? Please ? Pretty please?

Maybe with some Robert Gibbs in?

I saw this (http://community.livejournal.com/lolobama/109873.html) and IMMEDIATELY thought of you. :)

Truer words were never spoken. Typed. Macroed. Oh, Rahm. I am so your bitch.
