Fuck Yeah Claudia Jean // Why Sam Seaborn was awesome.

I hope it's fairly obvious what this blog is about. If not, let me explain. Claudia Jean Cregg. Flamingo. This gorgeous, kick-ass woman from The West Wing. Tall and lovely with legs to match. She can out-wit anyone. If things don't go her way she'll shove a mother board so far up your ass you won't know what happened. I dare you to challenge her because she'll reach down and rip off your puny little face. Some things are just too good not to reblog, so if I get a little off-topic now then, don't kill me.

Why Sam Seaborn was awesome. ←

I love The West Wing, the first 4 seasons are some of the best television drama you can see. I like most of the main cast but for me the highlight of the show was Sam Seaborn. I went looking for quotes and these are but a few that demonstrate Sam’s greatness.

- “Education is the silver bullet. Education is everything. We don’t need little changes. We need gigantic revolutionary changes. Schools should be palaces. Competition for the best teachers should be fierce. They should be getting six-figure salaries. Schools should be incredibly expensive for government and absolutely free of charge for its citizens, just like national defense. That is my position. I just haven’t figured out how to do it yet.”

- “Oratory should raise your heart rate. Oratory should blow the doors off the place. We should be talking about not being satisfied with past solutions. We should be talking about a permanent revolution.”

- “[about why we should go to Mars] ‘Cause it’s next. ‘Cause we came out of the cave and we looked over the hill and we saw fire. And we crossed the ocean and we pioneered the West and we took to the sky. The history of man is hung on a timeline of exploration and this is what’s next.”

- “This country is an idea, and one that’s lit the world for two centuries and treason against that idea is not just a crime against the living! This ground holds the graves of people who died for it, who gave what Lincoln called the last full measure of devotion, of fidelity.”

- “I think you should. I think ambition is good. I think overreaching is good. I think giving people a vision of government that’s more than Social Security checks and debt reduction is good. I think government should be optimistic.”

- “[reading an excerpt rejected from the State of the Union speech] Over the past half century, we’ve split the atom, we’ve spliced the gene and we’ve roamed Tranquillity Base. We’ve reached for the stars and never have we been closer to having them in our grasp. New science, new technology is making the difference between life and death, and so we need a national commitment equal to this unparalleled moment of possibility. And so I announce to you tonight that I will bring the full resources of the Federal Government and the full reach of my office to this fundamental goal: We will cure cancer by the end of this decade.”

Sam is awesome.
