West Wing Gender Swap Picspam!

Recently,
lutamira and I got to chatting about Josh/Donna and how I logically should ship them because they are super-dysfunctional, and we all know how I'm a sucker for dysfunctional ships. And yet... I don't. And I think the reason why is that I like my dysfunction in nontraditional gender roles (*ahem* Spuffy), whereas The West Wing is basically reinforcing traditional gender roles by having the dude be an emotionally unavailable jerk who doesn't respect his (female, of course) assistant and takes her for granted.
Thus, gender swap! I'd kind of been mulling this one over for a while now (I have been wanting to do one after seeing all of
penny_lane_42's fantabulous picspams), but that was the motivation I needed to actually put the damn thing together.

Glad you liked my choices! The ones you listed were so easy, but others took me FOREVER.
