Month of Awesome Women: CJ Cregg (The West Wing)

And by the way, not to change the subject, but how are we supposed to have any moral credibility when we talk about gun control and making sure that guns don't get in the hands of the wrong people? God, Nancy! What the hell are we defining as the *right* people?

CJ Cregg



Oh, CJ. CJ was another one of my very early role models. She taught me that you could be somewhat socially inept, and have a sense of humour, and feeling incredibly passionate about world issues, and that not only would those things not impede you doing your job, they actually made you better at it.

Also her code name is Flamingo and she does a killer Jackal impression and when the series ends she's probably going to go and save the whole goddamn world. Yeah, she's pretty awesome.

The West Wing is not a canon I am particularly fannish about! If anyone has any CJ-centric recs, please leave them below.

yay for CJ! I don't read much West Wing fic at ALL, but I do know this amazing story: Election Days, by raven. It's a West Wing/Star Trek fusion (West Wing characters basically running an election in the Federation) and it's beautiful, one of my favourite fusion concepts ever. And CJ (along with Donna) is at the heart of the story.
