― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Friday, 17 November 2017 21:10 (eight years ago)

mostly for Dr. Houseman in Dirty Dancing.

nobody puts Jeff Sessions in the corner

Obviously it’s S. Epatha Merkerson. Poise, cool voice, seems generally like a good person... and the character’s last name is “Van Buren.”

jeez Sam Waterston already played Lincoln, i mighta fucked up.

This makes it look like their real names are their character's running mate

― Evan, Friday, 17 November 2017 21:15 (eight years ago)

sam waterson's lincoln looks like he plays bass in a nu-metal band

― wow. that was truly the minecraft of sex. (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 17 November 2017 21:17 (eight years ago)

Parisse has better eyebrows than even Waterston. Also, she was in Rubicon.

― El Tomboto, Saturday, 18 November 2017 03:14 (eight years ago)

kevin bernard is anti-abortion but pro-union

― j., Saturday, 18 November 2017 03:19 (eight years ago)

alexandra borgia is dead, which is disqualifying

― j., Saturday, 18 November 2017 03:20 (eight years ago)

president dianne wiest would be super calming

― Simon H., Saturday, 18 November 2017 03:20 (eight years ago)

cutter faked a credential on his bar application, but politicians have come back from that

― j., Saturday, 18 November 2017 03:22 (eight years ago)

Parisse has been playing her same character from Rubicon in everything, she’s a super spy, fakes deaths on the reg

― El Tomboto, Saturday, 18 November 2017 03:26 (eight years ago)

damn I miss Rubicon

― Simon H., Saturday, 18 November 2017 03:36 (eight years ago)

Not Arthur Branch, that's for sure

― tokyo rosemary, Saturday, 18 November 2017 04:34 (eight years ago)

Lennie Briscoe would probably be a better VP.

― tokyo rosemary, Saturday, 18 November 2017 04:35 (eight years ago)

adam schiff

Pity vote for Elisabeth Rohm - her "is this because I'm a lesbian" moment is the only specific memory I have of any L&O episode and I liked Angel.

― louise ck (milo z), Saturday, 18 November 2017 09:46 (eight years ago)

obv not voting bcz polls are bad and you shd feel bad and also the formating is worse and you shd feel worse but adam schiff will always be my chief of men (and women)

michael moriarty's jazz stylings would also pep up the oval office tho i believe his views are o_0

― mark s, Saturday, 18 November 2017 09:49 (eight years ago)

i have watched every law and order

The formatting looks great on Zing. Who knew!

― El Tomboto, Saturday, 18 November 2017 15:05 (eight years ago)

Oh, it’s because Zing isn’t a web browser so it recognizes consecutive spaces and such. Duh.

― El Tomboto, Saturday, 18 November 2017 22:18 (eight years ago)

Should we disqualify the guy who actually ran for President?

― Hideous Lump, Sunday, 19 November 2017 06:25 (eight years ago)

one month passes...

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

― System, Sunday, 24 December 2017 00:01 (eight years ago)

The only law and order that matters is svu

― infinity (∞), Sunday, 24 December 2017 02:32 (eight years ago)

My vote went to Serena Southerlyn Elisabeth Rohm. No real reason. I chose her at random, because anyone would be better than who we've got.

― A is for (Aimless), Sunday, 24 December 2017 03:48 (eight years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Self-defeating deep bench of qualified women

― A is for (Aimless)

is it because she's a lesbian?

― bob lefse (rushomancy), Monday, 25 December 2017 00:20 (eight years ago)

How did Adam Schiff only get a single vote?

― Johnny Fever, Monday, 25 December 2017 00:22 (eight years ago)

is it because she's a lesbian?

No. I had no idea. Random in this case meant random, because I've never watched any of the many Law & Order shows and spin-offs. I just thought Serena was a pleasant sort of name and serenity would be a nice change from the grinding irritation of contemporary politics.

― A is for (Aimless), Monday, 25 December 2017 00:36 (eight years ago)

sorry, that was a l&o in-joke

― bob lefse (rushomancy), Monday, 25 December 2017 00:56 (eight years ago)

see i didn't make that joke because i knew he would say that

never make a joke you don't already know the retort to, i learned that from a lawyer on tv

― j., Monday, 25 December 2017 01:28 (eight years ago)

i knew he would say that

you are a scholar of human nature and a far-seeing savant.

― A is for (Aimless), Monday, 25 December 2017 01:57 (eight years ago)

a gentleman also

― j.

i have never suffered under the misapprehension that jokes should be funny

― bob lefse (rushomancy), Monday, 25 December 2017 02:06 (eight years ago)

Hey, my guy won! That never happens!
