Actually I think it sends the opposite message since it was never released without her permission. If she hadn’t consented it would be a disincentive, but everything was handled properly. I think the only disturbing message that comes from this is that her story has been out this whole time and not only did it not…

I’m guessing because people do not really respond to transcripts, but they do to video. Ask Ray Rice how much more attention comes when there is video.

Excellent article and makes really a good point and it says a lot that this could happen at her house and the story is mainly written as being something between two men, like her experience doesn’t matter. On the other hand I had to laugh, because of the way I heard about this.

And just like that, “Too Many Cooks” is stuck in my head again. Thanks a lot

Now I want to see this badly. The dealer and the chimp walk-and-talking through their garden, the dealer discussing international factors that effect their prices and tying that into the recent revelation that his father had been having a decades-long affair. I assume the chimp will be played by Joshua Malina

I thought the women of Sports Night were great, just like most of the women on West Wing. I think part of the knock on them is that they had moments where they were neurotic or over the top, but so did the guys. That’s just how Sorkin writes his characters

You mean a charming/smug smile paired with a clever line doesn’t cure all?

The Brutus line is great, like the whole thing. Her tone and delivery, so calm, collected, and measured, is just perfect

No one rips themselves off like Sorkin. To me the question isn’t just if he can write a good female character, it’s also can he write a male protagonist without Daddy issues.

I get what you’re saying about how they introduced Ainsley, but she was pretty impressive once she became a real character. They tried to make Rob Lowe’s character like a future Bartlett, and she regularly went up against him and was his equal if not his better.

NotForNothing is definitely a contender, but don’t countout I’mNotthatGuy, and of course I’m hoping it’s ScrewedwithhisPantsOn

Which takes us to everyone’s favorite new game,
GUESS AARON SORKIN’S GAWKER HANDLE!

I see a lot of (obviously deserved) love here for CJ, but I guess what gets me about how awful he’s gotten with Newsroom is it wasn’t just CJ that was awesome. On West Wing I thought he did great with female characters. The first lady was the President’s equal, which is impressive since he’s written as a…

This is the internet, so no waiting for all of the information- PASS JUDGEMENT NOW

That’s just a typical Wednesday for me

This is not a story, I just need some input. I was at a funeral recently where there was an open casket, which already is creepy to me, but several people, including family members, took pictures of the body. Is that something that is done now? It seems so creepy and disrespectful to me but I try not to judge how…

Waiting until 30’s you are more likely to be right, but in my experience a lot of people, particularly from religious or otherwise repressed backgrounds, do not feel comfortable enough with themselves or the concept of sexuality to really explore for themselves and discover what they like until 30’s and even 40’s, so…

I don’t think that’s what people are saying, I think they are saying that it’s intellectually dishonest to make this arrangement about feminism.

I think you misunderstand the concept of someone in the relationship being dominant, the entire point of it is that the two people clearly express their needs, d this is what both of them want

Wow, they’re just making the point that today strategy meetings are taking place at places like the heritage foundation and other dens of evil that are going to use this for massive fundraising drives, to help their candidates, and to re-galvanize their side. Is there really anything wrong with saying that today we…
