      I’m from there. There was a comedian who did a route about being from Bellevue, where the Strategic Air Command is (the hit on Omaha). He said if there is ever a launch, he said he is grabbing a lawn chair, going out to his front yard, drop a hit of acid, and watch the pretty colors.
      I think he was just opening the gravity of national security affairs to her.

    So this page pops up out of nowhere, we are all enjoying the looks back. But I can’t stop remembering when President Bartlet told Sam that one day he would run for President. I’m hoping for this kind surprise…..

    • @ashwinoashwin
      @ashwinoashwin 2 місяці тому +8

      That happens when santos finishes 8 years, sam goes off to find his “bartlet/santos”, becomes cos for that for 8 years and then his deputy goes off to find his “sam’s santos/bartlett” and then puts on the ticket to be vp and then 8 years goes by and sam becomes president :) . So in effect 24 years from santos’s presidency, sam becomes vp and 32 from that is when sam becomes president!

      Didn't Bartlett tell Charlie that as well? That would be a hell of a comeback for this universe. President Charles Young, who wins the WH after 2 terms in the House, 1 term in the Senate. Divorced from his first wife (Zoe Bartlett-Young), 2 kids, non-identical twins. Masters Degree in History from GW. Guest stars from the original cast but an all-new regular cast. Bring back the Sork to run the show, Schlamme to work his magic, betcha you got another hit on your hands...

    The answer to “We destroyed all the evidence” is “No, you think you destroyed all the evidence.”
    You would be surprised at what evidence of any event can still survive. For a start the guys who did the actual killing are still alive. Then there’s Danny’s cricket loving source.
