I'd need you to define islamo-fascism and specify which invasion of Iraq you're talking about.

I'm not 12 anymore, so I can't get into his mind. You may want to be more specific. Was Sayyid Qutb "Islamofascist"? Was António Salazar "Christofascist"?

Ol' Sally was a friend against communism. If you gotta ask whether someone is islamofascist, Bush II would likely say yes.

I guess people who W would consider to be Islamofascist predated his reign, yes. Why is that an important discussion for us to have in the D of the D in the Year of Their Lord 2014?

The post-Sorkin era got a bit of CRISIS OF THE WEEK disease, but the actors exercised enough control most of the time to keep the characters from becoming caricatures. Still, some of the character arcs just went nuts.

And Mandy is the worst thing about The West Wing, which they figured out before the end of Season 1, really, which is why Mandyville exists.


Oh god drat it, Matthew Perry? Considering season 4 is probably the first season they taped post 9/11, I think it's safe to say the terrorists won.

Wait if you've seen Amy Gardner you're well into season 3 - I can understand skipping Isaac and Ishmael but how have you missed the increasing focus on the Middle East?

(Season 3 is the first post-9/11 season.)

He basically says everything is awesome - because he's invested in everything. He also thinks of the middle class as indentured servants and fodder for tech's meat grinder.

Even in darkest Orange County I don't think that's going to win over anyone who wasn't going to vote for him anyway
