manhattan, kansas on newsroom right now repping the tea party!
Sorkin is obsessed with Kansas State. True story.
(ex. Harriet Hayes on Studio 60 went to KSU, bslimz pointed out one from the west wing i think but I cant remember what and the ksufans archive is gone )
Toward the end of season 2, it's where CJ mentions having seen Abbey treat Bartlet for his MS:
C.J.:
Abbey... [sits on couch] During the campaign, we were in Manhattan, Kansas, at a Sheraton, or a Marriott, I can't remember, but we were in Manhattan, Kansas... And I came to your suite early to tell you we'd be doing Nightline that night and we had to get to an ABC affiliate. And I think by then the two of you were so used to people walking
in and out of your room that you didn't hear me open the door. And I was almost sure
I saw you giving the President an injection of something.
CJ was obviously confused and meant a Holiday Inn or a Ramada.
I think there was a SportsNight reference, too, but having trouble locating it right now.
A few days behind but... I didn't find Manhattan reference, but found this:
Dana: Okay Dan, here's the thing. You're gonna be fifteen seconds short on the Bucks/Pacers game. I have two options for you. Option one is that the attendance at the game, 11,323, turns out to be exactly the same population of . . .
Jeremy: Hoisington, Kansas.
Dana: Hoisingtion, Kansas.
Dan: And option two?
Dana: Talk slower.
