Valerie Jarrett Makes Cameo on CBS Drama 'The Good Wife'
Weekly Standard ^ | 09/29/2014 | Daniel Halper

Top White House adviser Valerie Jarrett was given a cameo role in the latest episode of CBS's The Good Wife. The airing of the episode comes after a busy week for President Obama -- which included bombing the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, a series of meetings at the United Nations, and various international crises.

Jarrett appears to play herself:

FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW :

Political cameos. The Democratic strategist Donna Brazile has played herself on the show three times. Sunday marked the debut of the Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett, playing herself in a plot line that saw her going along with an Eli Gold ploy to encourage Alicia to run for state’s attorney. These cameos would make sense if Michelle and Robert King, the show’s creators, were lobbying for some kind of federal production tax credit. And they probably succeed as fan service for a liberal audience of a certain age. But they don’t work as television drama. The political functionaries can’t act — they’re a distraction, and they flatten every scene they’re in. The shock of recognition isn’t worth it.

How does Val have time for all that between her schedule and her muzzie boyfriend, Ahmad Rashad?

How Obama finds all these muzzies to surround himself with seems almost impossible.

She’d have been more appropriate on “Who’s The Boss”

Well, politics has been described as `acting for ugly people.’ Jar-jar could win a, whatever that award is they give to really ugly people on TV.

Just to be clear, this is Valerie Jarrett, the top white house adviser who happens to be both black and born in Iran, right? Just want to be sure I’m thinking of the right one.

Yes. Valerie Jarrett has been dating muzzie boyfriend Ahmad Rashad for some time.

I am sure you can read about it if you google it.

Mz Clinton may be getting a boost from the TV series, Madam Secretary.
What I see is a move to have Mr. Obama serve several more years as President. Social media, and mass media in general has great power over the low information voters.
The TV appearance will help in Mr. Obamas major and successful fundraising efforts, not for the trumpeted support for Democrats but for his own uses.

Maybe, but right now all efforts by this administration - even this stupid cameo by the reptilian Valerie Jarret, are directed at staving off disaster this November. IMO

It depends on how you look at it. Both The Good Wife and The Secretary of State show received over 10 million viewers which is very rare. Now on the 18-49 rating they didn’t do that great. They are probably going to be renewed for next year. The Good Wife for a short 13 episode 7th Season and The Secretary of State for a second season.
