Day Nine: Favourite female character in a drama show

CJ Cregg, The West Wing. Why? Because she's six feet tall, in her 40s, and sexy as hell. Because she's a paranoid Berkeley shiksa feminista. Because they call her The Jackal. Because she's smart and funny and fierce and will kick your ass from here to China. Because she wants you to rock the vote. Because she owned the press room. Because she told Donna some hard truths. (Spoilers for CJ's arc!) Because she was Chief of Staff and the second most powerful person on the planet. Because she gave Big Bird the side-eye. Because she and Kate Harper were friends, and professionals, and wore evening gowns to the Situation Room. Because she wanted to learn how to ski. Because she turned down the president-elect and accepted an offer to take a billion dollars and go fix the world.
