I wish I watched West Wing so I could properly assess this. XD

schonste January 22 2009, 18:18:13 UTC

Me too :(

It's never too late to jump on the Sorkin bandwagon!

To be more accurate, they should be using the Santos White House.

free_spoons January 22 2009, 18:31:39 UTC

so then;
Barck = Santos
Rahm = Josh
Ronna = Katie Johnson
Bram = Reggie Love
Otto = Favs
Leo/Guy from Married with Children = Joey B
Sam Seaborn = Mona Sutphen and Jim Messina
Louise = Ellen Moran

See, matches up so much better.

LOL, I have not heard anyone call Lou Louise in a long time! (I miss this show ridiculously so)

That's a pretty cool picture. I never knew the floorplan of the White House before.

Who's the Donna? Where is Ainsley's Steam-pipe trunk distribution venue?

dwer January 22 2009, 18:26:20 UTC

Donna probably hasn't been hired yet. Nor Ainsley.

geckophobe January 22 2009, 18:30:56 UTC

The fact that I'm marathoning The West Wing right now is probably making me find similarities where none should exist. But it's fun. :)

o_tempora January 22 2009, 20:02:49 UTC

They've officially turned the steam-pipe trunk distribution venue into a night club since the Bartlet era.

dwer January 22 2009, 18:25:21 UTC

They left out that Rahm Emmanuel, who worked for Bill Clinton's White House, was the inspiration for Josh Lyman.

Actually, Sorkin himself has debunked this on Facebook.

dwer January 22 2009, 19:32:42 UTC

really? Damn. It was such a good story.
