A parallel universe??

Obama seeks some fatherly advice... from our very own Jed Bartlet.

BARTLET - Because the idea of American exceptionalism doesn’t extend to Americans being exceptional. If you excelled academically and are able to casually use 690 SAT words then you might as well have the press shoot video of you giving the finger to the Statue of Liberty while the Dixie Chicks sing the University of the Taliban fight song. The people who want English to be the official language of the United States are uncomfortable with their leaders being fluent in it.

God, I love that man... (well, both of them - Bartlet and Sorkin!)

From the NYT.

Yes, I just saw that. I totally want to have sex with Maureen Dowd right now. Aaron can watch, I guess. Wait, I'm sorry, did Aaron Sorkin just write reality crossover fan-fiction for his own show? I think he did. I think my money quote is "There are times when you are simply required to be impolite. There are times when condescension is called for!

Also, "Hang on. Home run. Right here. Is there any chance you could get Michelle pregnant before the fall sweeps?"

I think he may well have done, yes :-)

The Michelle comment made me snort my tea!

Not only that, but he published it in the New York Times. Best. News. Ever. Can you imagine if Aaron Sorkin had an op-ed column? In fact, I think he should just write Maureen Dowd's column every week. In fact... oh forget it, what's the point? This is what I get for not friending Josh Malina when I had the chance.
