As a political reporter, is your favorite show,

Vep?

Absolutely, I love that show. It is. show, Veeep?

Absolutely.

I love that show.

It is so perfect.

I mean, it captures, and we say this in DC all the time

that like people outside the beltway think that politics is house of cards but really it's

it's not west wing it's not noble and high-minded it's not house of cards it's not

some sinister conspiracy it's just a bunch of flawed people doing ridiculous things for ridiculous reasons

One of the things that I like about VE is that the Vice President is the main character.

Somebody who's normally just, you know, off to the side and more forgettable.

But Amy, look at this.

This is classic clean job stuff.

I mean, if I can get cornstarch utensils in most federal buildings by the fall well then the

vep has landed. Well it so perfectly captures the plight of the vice president right

who is titularly extremely important but basically has nothing to do and just

spends all their time sort of being anxious about their ambitions and their

place in the universe and their future and it is it's this sort of weird position that

simultaneously second on the org chart and kind of invisible.

Uh-huh except this week the Vice President chill Hopefuls got to be the main characters.
