Also, rumor has it Rahm Emanuel was the inspiration for Josh Lyman on the West Wing. Which starred Martin Sheen. I bet this could be a lot of circles.
Have you been doing some Rahm Emanuel research, too?
What? He’s hot!
Nah, I just went through a phase where I was super into the West Wing. And maybe developed a bit of a crush on Josh Lyman.
Stella wins the West Wing connection. Also, wasn’t Lincoln killed in Ford’s theater. And Kennedy was killed in a Lincoln Continental. And Ford owns Lincoln.
Or something.
Wow, Gabe. Have you been taking more vitamins than usual?
My name is Emanuel!
Actually, the Kennedy stuff is totally germaine now that Badge Man has been named head of the CIA. Ha ha, just kidding. Badge Man’s gonna be Attorney General.

You posted the wrong video, Gabe. What you were after was Mr Hankey’s “Cirlce of Poo”.
I love it!
Hoooooold on. Rahm Emanuel was the basis for Josh Lyman, but even better:
Barack Obama was used as a major source of inspiration for Jimmy Smitt’s character (Matthew Santos) during the last season of the West Wing. He was an idealistic Hispanic democrat who chose Josh Lyman to be HIS chief of staff, and also won the election.
