Maddox told her that people think she's incompetent ("doesn't know how to get things done"). He's sadface-walking down the hallway because he knows he hosed up his interview for the VP spot.

I could have used a nice "Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit" as he walked down the hall.

Catherine is always the highlight of any episode she's in. Her constant, barely suppressed despair is the funniest thing ever.

I love this actress. The amount of effort that Catherine had to summon to spew out one of those rah-rah lines in the speech, so good.

Catherine? Everything they show makes her come across as terrible, this season at least. The interactions between her and those children a few episodes ago was just painful to watch.

Well, OK. She nails it compared to everyone else in the show. Politicians in the Veep universe are complete morons.

The total lack of any fucks given about a man slowly and I can only imagine rather painfully dying was hilarious and depressing at the same time.

It really makes me miss the Mr Tickle storyline in the last season of The Thick of It. Maybe joking about death row inmates will come out if/when this dead baby hacking thing blows up into an impeachment hearing or something.

Not 100% sure it fits Veep's style, but man was it good last time.

Amy's rant was kind of bizarre considering Selina's foreign policy achievements in this season. Then again, I'm never sure if the show wants us to think that Selina is a competent politician that is kept down by her terrible personality and terrible choice of assistants, or an incompentent politican that somehow manages to stay in power despite her terrible personality and terrible choice of assistants.

Also I'm sad they dropped the Get Moving America program because it had some amazing moments.

The point of VEEP is that the people in power are not in power because they're competent, but because they really want to, or at least don't duck in time when it falls down as somebody higher up is gutting themselves.

This was amazing, I totally didn't pick up on it (this show doesn't have a ton of visual gags anyway) until he said it. Then I had to pause the show and laugh for a while.

I'm afraid we have no time for codes and manners.
In a show with some great lines, for some reason I loved "“Ma’am, we’ve also set up a tour of an egg plant. I mean a plant that packs eggs, not the big vegetable.”

Also the "James" gradually getting larger on the MEYER/JAMES signs.

Selina is quickly finding James insufferable is hilarious. Interesting that his PR gamble actually hosed up her ability to govern, I wonder if he's going to wind up being just as incompetent as everyone else, simply more charming.

I hope Kent will continue the tradition and melt down now that he's the campaign manager.

Crazy Amy is indeed amazing and Richard Splat has really grown on me.

But the highlight of the episode was definitely Selina's "Yeah, that'll win me the election: Nice shot of my beave".

I'd put it up against "I hope your vagina falls off!"

The fact that the "sexual tension" Selina was worried about with Tom was completely non-existent was kinda hilarious. I'm also getting the vague sense that they're angling toward Tom being gay, which would probably cause Selina's narcissism to blow up in her face hilariously.

Edit: And I mean in addition to that whole "green shoes" thing. He's an older, unmarried congressman who calls a guy named "Nick" to briefly kvetch the moment he's bored on the campaign trail. Inevitably almost everyone, minus Gary, already knows.

The Thick of It did the same trick and managed to pull it off, so I am not too worried. But the groups in that seem to effect each other more even when not doing direct interactions, so dunno.

I hope they go the opposite direction and have him be the most competent person on the show. That way we could have House be playing a charming nice version of Malcom Tucker.

Agreed with this one, but then again, they are replacing some interactions with other funny interactions like the house guy coming in
