More “West Wing” fun! Congressman Santos can’t help but be the underdog that everyone loves. We’re five days away from the New Hampshire primary and all seven Democratic presidential candidates are wrangling for a spot at a debate organized by the local paper. Santos wants to get in there and really “talk about the issues,” Hoynes wants to use the debate as an opportunity to embarrass Bingo Bob Russell, which really shouldn’t be very hard…
DCist wanted to do a longer recap of this week’s “West Wing” episode, since it was actually a good one, but we’re dealing with a killer headache, recovering from an extended commute to work this morning due to delays on the Blue Line, and a spotty Internet connection. Since we’ve been accused of being too negative in the past, we’ll only focus on the positive aspects of this episode, and bring you the List of…
If you’re reading this now, there may be a light dusting of snow on the ground. Before the worsening weather last night, we’re able to get a shot of the Washington Monument toward dusk from the Tidal Basin. With the weather deteriorating during the week, the next few days could make for a more than uncomfortable Inauguration. Capital Weather has the latest. In the meantime, here’s what you may have missed on DCist over…
Welcome back loyal “West Wing” viewers. The first new episode since the holiday break and not a whole heck of a lot happens. This week, the staff tries to pass a federal budget, avoid the messy moral issue of gay marriage and Josh quits! We open with a tight close up of Congressman Santos and his wife (Teri Polo) in bed (fully clothed, people) talking about his not running for re-election. The camera pulls back…
On this week’s “West Wing”: Donna quits! The President wants to quit and Josh still wants to stop Congressman Santos from quitting. Also, an asteroid is heading towards the earth and we’re treated to a secondary plot line that’s like a mini-Armageddon, complete with NASA dorks and people happily cheering the survival of the human race towards the end. Whatever. Wells has absolutely no shame left, does he? And it’s not even sweeps! Meanwhile, Jed…
Ah, health care. How we’ve missed debating this issue over and over again until all the acronyms and buzz words loose their meaning. This week, Josh and Congressman Santos go toe to toe over the Patients Bill of Rights and a suicide bomber kills a solider with the U.S. peace keeping mission in the Middle East. Are the two story lines related? No. Not at all. Do they have anything at all in common? No…
(From DCist contributor Hemal Jhaveri) DCist apologizes for being a little late with this week’s recap of the West Wing, but we have family in town and the evil minions at our Internet provider have yet to come to our house and fix our connection. This post comes to you from our local library, where they let you use their dial up connection. We hope you appreciate it. This week on the West Wing, guest…
