If you're like me, then you've totally become addicted to the newest pop angst drama, The Supreme Court, or, as the cool people call it, The SC. Initially, I thought it was just going to be some boring stereotypical fluff to sell the glamour of old age, upper-class East Coast living and fashionable robes to Generation X and Y, but I was totally wrong!
Recently, shockwaves spread from the death of one of the main characters, William Rehnquist. I was totally bummed, cuz like, he must have been smart to be Chief Justice, and it's sad when smart people die.
The good thing is George got to pick a replacement, which made him seem really happy and proud of himself. If you don't have the characters down yet, George is that rebel with a heart from Texas whose parents shipped him off to live in the White House in a last ditch effort to get him to keep his nose clean. I can't tell if I like him yet because while he sometimes tries hard, it doesn't seem like he's all that smart and has a tendency to punch people in the face. And by \punch"" I mean bomb, and by ""the face"" I mean their home country. I will admit, though, he's just plain adorable when he gets all proud of himself.
If that wasn't enough, Sandra decided she had enough and retired. I bet it's because of that thing between her and Ruth. They used to be such good friends until Ruth tried to seduce Clarence after getting him drunk at that raging GOP kegger. Seriously though, Ruth should have known Sandra had a crush on him. It must be totally weird between them now.
Yet the silver lining came when guess who got all adorable again. George may have gotten too excited, since he picked his personal lawyer to replace Sandra. I don't know about that. He says she's the ""best he could find,"" but I wonder if maybe he just got lazy and didn't look very far. I totally remember how the scene played out.
Ring... Ring...
""Howdy, you've reached the president,"" George said as he picked up the phone.
""Mr. President,"" the voice responded. ""It's been three months, we need you to pick a replacement for the Supreme Court.""
""What? I just did that. My boy filled in for that dead guy, 'member?""
""No, sir."" The voice continued. ""You need to pick another replacement for the one that retired.""
""Awww, snap! That's right."" Bush said as his voice started sounding like a kid being told he gets another piece of Halloween candy. ""Um, hang on one second. Hey, Harriet, you're a lawyer, right? You wanna be on the Supreme Court?""
I totally couldn't imagine how they could top all this drama, but then I saw the previews for next season. Apparently, The SC decides the few appeals out of the almost 2000 they could hear. And one of their choices is perfect!
Vickie Lynn Marshall will be guest starring as herself, or actually as her more popular identity Anna Nicole Smith. From what I can tell she's locked in two major battles. The first battle is with her dead husband's children over his estate since he tragically died of old age and left her with nothing but $6 million in gifts. Her other battle is with her inner demons as those around her wonder if she's an alcoholic or simply really damn stupid.
I'm soooo glad they didn't try and make next season of The SC all respectable.
