"BRAD WHITFORD'S A HOTTIE!!!" ~Allison Janney
It was truly the Harem's night of jubilee on Emmy night, as our boy Bradley won his Emmy, and gave us one of the sweetest Emmy speeches EVER. Here, for your enjoyment:
"Um...I work in the West Wing so I have a really fast speech to say. [Laughs.] I must dedicate this award to my beloved late father, George Whitford, and to my beloved, very present mother, Genevieve Whitford. Thank you for my family. Aaron Sorkin...how does an actor thank a writer for the role of a lifetime? I have no idea -- you gotta write that speech for me. Um, Tommy...I want to thank you and Tommy for pushing the most radical envelope there is: one of intelligence, and wit, and hope. This award is the result of looking into the eyes of Martin Sheen, John Spencer, Richard Schiff, Rob Lowe, Allison Janney, Stockard Channing, Dulé Hill, and the utterly exquisite Janel Moloney. What a joy for us all to hit our strides together. I want to thank John Wells, Peter Roth, Scott Sassa, [some other names I didn't catch]. I want to thank my children for their miraculous selves and for saving my wife and me from lives of terminal self-involvement. [General laughter.] And most of all--and I've waited to say this--I want to thank my electric, hilarious wife, Jane Kaczmarek. My love, you have brought such color and laughter and sweet life to me. My heart is so full...of you. Thank you."
The CJ fans have the flamingos, the Toby fans have the Schiffaholics.
We have The Harem.
What is this shrine going to give you? Not much intellectual thought, we assure you. But we do have Josh quotes, a list of reasons why we (and you) love Josh, and other assorted goodies.
As a starter, we proudly present the Top 10 Reasons why we love all things Joshua.
10. His stunning gift-giving skills. Books, anyone?
9. His banter with Donna. Or with anybody for that matter.
8. His casual clothes. Of course we'd rather him be naked, but jeans work too.
7. His loyalty to his friends. For the best proof of this, we urge you to watch "The Crackpots and These Women."
6. His dimples. THUD.
5. His beautiful ass. We speak for the vast majority of the Harem when we say, "Back that ass up!!"
4. His swagger. Just watch this man walk. You'll see what we mean.
3. His wit.
2. His intellect. He's damn smart, and he knows it. So do we.
And the number 1 reason we love Josh Lyman is..
1. His charm!
Onto the quotes!

Josh: A couple of things for you to bear in mind. First of all, he didn't know she was a call girl when he slept with her. He didn't pay her. He didn't participate in, have knowledge of, or witness anything illegal. Or for that matter, unethical, amoral, or suspect.
C.J.: Okay. A couple things for you to bear in mind. None of that matters on Hard Copy!
Josh: You're overreacting.
C.J.: Am I.
Josh: Yes.
C.J.: As women are prone to do.
Josh: That's not what I meant.
C.J.: That's always what you mean.
Josh: You know what, C.J., I think I'm the best judge of what I mean, you paranoid Berkely shiksa feminista! (beat) Well that was way too far.
C.J.: No, no. Well, I've got a staff meeting to go to and so do you, you elitest Harvard fascist missed-the-Dean's-list-two-semesters-in-a-row yankee jackass!!
Josh: Feel better getting that off your chest there, C.J.?

C.J.: Damn.
Josh: What.

Josh: What?
C.J.: I forgot to feel the President's glands.
(He Shall, From Time to Time..)
Josh: See, you won with 52 percent, but the President took your district with 59. And I think it's high time we come back and say thanks. Do you have any idea how much noise Air Force One makes when it lands in Eau Claire, Wisconsin? Were gonna have a party Congressman, you should come, it's gonna be great. And when the watermelon's done, right in town square, right in the band gazebo...
You guys got a band gazebo? ... Doesn't matter, we'll build one. Right in the band gazebo, that's where the President's gonna drape his arm around some Assistant DA we like, and you should have your camera with you, you should get a picture of that,
because that's gonna be the moment you're finished in Democratic politics. President Bartlet's a good man, he's got a good heart, he doesn't hold a grudge. That's what he pays me for.

Josh: So that's gonna be my reaction every time I hear music?
