Gold is to Ari as Lyman is to Rahm

Interesting fact from the 2005 Rolling Stone article about Rahm Emanual, the person Barack Obama has picked to be his Chief of Staff.

Many of us already know that Ari Emanuel, Rahm's brother, is the inspiration for Ari Gold, my favorite character on Entourage.

Apparently, soon to be Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has a Hollywood connection of his own. He was the inspiration for Josh Lyman on The West Wing.

Interesting.
