“Stop! Just stop. I believe in the sanctity of life! And if that word is too vague for you, then look it up. I support the Senator because, of all the candidates in the field, I believe he is the only one whose passion on the issue of abortion equals my own, and I believe he has the skills to make a fantastic President. And I believe he has—
YOU WILL NOT INTERRUPT ME AGAIN, SIR!
I am more than one thing. How dare you reduce me to the color of my skin or my sexual orientation? There are people who look just like me, thousands and thousands, who die for the freedom to define their own lives for themselves. How dare you presume to decide what I should think is important? Yes. When it comes to equality for the gay community, Senator Santorum is wrong. But I am far more insulted by your high-handed implication that I need your protection.
SHUT UP. I’ll let you know when I’m finished!
I came on this program because Rick Santorum believes that the right to kill an unborn child is not inalienable. And I stand with Rick Santorum, and I stand with the Catholic Church. I am not defined by my blackness.I am not defined by my gayness. And if that doesn’t fit your narrow-minded expectation of who I’m supposed to be, I don’t give a damn, because I’m not defined by you either. So get this through your head:
I don’t need your help.”
Damon Gupton as Sutton Wall, from “Bullies”, this past Sundays episode of The Newsroom.
Just all sorts of fantastic.
I’ve said my piece about Olivia Munn before. I didn’t expect to like her at ALL on The Newsroom…
Boy was I wrong.
Not only did she knock it out of the park on “Bullies”, she knocked it into a totally different park and then out of that one too.
Which just goes to show you what great material, great writing, and great directing can do.
Jeff Daniels, Sam Waterston, and even Thomas Sadoski have been acting the hell out of this show on a near-weekly basis. On Sunday night’s episode, Olivia Munn leveled the field with her spat with Waterston, and with her on-air Japanese breakdown, and with everything else, really.
So, you know… I was wrong. It happens.
Not often. So count it.

"And you know why I don’t talk about it? Because I’m tired of people telling me it’s a ‘just get over it’ situation. Fuck you, you don’t know what it’s like in my head."
— Will McAvoy (Jeff Daniels) in another fanfuckingtastic episode of The Newsroom, a show every critic still seems to hate with a passion that I don’t get nor understand, except where I do
