Commander in Chief - Lobbyist and Casino storyline

[Sydnie]

Interesting. Former employee of the Speakers office is now a lobbyist for an Indian tribe. Think they are writing their stories like law and order ... ripped from the headlines.

Anyone else watching?

[Ian David]

1. No, I'm watching House. The World's Crabbiest Doctor

If you haven't watched the show, imagine Buffalo Bill (Dabney Coleman) plus Lou Grant plus Chicago Hope.

[Sydnie]

2. I love House too ...

I tivo one and watch the other. Can't miss my House!

What's the story tonight? Spoliers welcome. ;)

3. got it on...love Geena !!!

[Sydnie]

4. I think it is interesting that they are

developing that story line, don't you?

I must have missed an episode. How is it that she quit working for the speaker? What happened?

[Oceansaway]

5. i dunno either.....sorry

[Sydnie]

7. So maybe we didn't miss anything

It could just be a plot twist introduced tonight. Thanks! :)

8. she leaked info to the chief of staff (her boyfriend) then they broke up

for political reasons

[Sydnie]

9. oh, she sold out the speaker?

How I wish we had one of those for real.

[helderheid]

10. she did indeed...

[Oceansaway]

12. oh yeah, i remember 'the leak'.....n/t

13. She squealed

There's a guy who works for the President who's gay and he found out he had AIDS and the President didn't know so somehow the Speaker found out and he was going to spread it around and be cruel, but the girl couldn't live with herself if he did that so she told the President's chief of staff a la Deep Throat style and he found out she told his plans and he fired her.

[Sydnie]

20. That's where I must have missed a show

I remember the autosigner and his secret. Then tonight things were so different.

I just know they are going to tie in the Abramoff thing to this. It's going to get really interesting.

6. I am TIVOing it

I LOVE this show. It sounds great tonight.

[FreedomAngel82]

11. I'm watching!

I LOVE the show. Now they're having trouble with the Chinese. I love it. :D (West wing is still my favorite though)

[Sydnie]

15. It;'s so timely.

I haven't watched the WW for a long time. Time changes kill a show.

[FreedomAngel82]

16. Yes

I like the WW on Wednesday night personally but it's not too bad on Sunday. :) I just have to choose between "Charmed" and WW so I tape one and watch the other. ;) Oh and Donald Southerland is great on CIC. I love him as the bad guy.

[Sydnie]

19. I do too

My room mate HATES him. I keep telling her that is the whole idea. :)
She watches, but she bitches about him all the time.

[helderheid]

14. Check out the freeped poll on the show's website!!

17. that's sick!

Can't they just enjoy anything?

I am energized by the thought of a woman president. They are afraid of it. Don't they love their mothers, or what? ;)

[Oceansaway]

18. shoot...its a 2-parter...grrrrrrrrrr

[justgamma]

21. Please, I've got to know

who is the older woman that was asked to move in? And who plays her? She looks so familiar and I can't place her.

[Neecy]

22. her mother

...don't know who the actress is.

[Sydnie]

23. I remember thinking that too , can't place her name

Could it be Jessica Walter?

[Garbo 2004]

24. I think it's Polly Bergen. Haven't seen her in years. n/t

[Sydnie]

25. I think you are right!
