GAH. I've just scrolled back three days on my flist looking and I can't find it. I give up!

Which one of you darlings posted recently about how Obama and his to-be staff going to the White House is like The West Wing RPF after the fact, because a character from the show was based on Obama and the guy Josh was based on (or the guy Sam was based on?) has been asked to be his chief of staff (unless I've got the details all wrong?) C'mon, correct me!

No, not the fact that Santos was based on Obama, but the much more coincidental fact that Josh was also based on Rahm Emanuel, who has just agreed to be Obama's Chief of Staff.
