In honor of tonight…
“Mr. Finney, would you tell the Speaker I’d like to see him please?”
“Mr. Speaker…the President of the United States!”
President Bartlet (to the cabinet member designated to stay behind during the State of the Union address): You got a best friend?
Secretary of Agriculture: Yes, sir.
Bartlet: Is he smarter than you?
Secretary: Yes, sir.
Bartlet: Would you trust him with your life?
Secretary: Yes, sir.
Barlet: That’s your chief of staff. Amazing scene from The West Wing Season 1 Episode 12, “He Shall, from Time to Time…”. You never really think about how the stay-behind guy must be feeling. (via cheapnewlust)
