"Where're you going?" "Where're _you_ going?" "I was following you." "I was following _you."_ Two of the smartest people in the White House, ladies and gentlemen.
They did the longest walk-and-talk on the show, if not the longest walk-and-talk in American TV, and parodied the walk-and-talk that they made famous, in the same episode. God, I love The West Wing.
Did anyone else ever pick up on how Josh literally Struts when he is walking the halls with others! He is Tony Manero walking down the sidewalk in the opening scene of "Saturday Night Fever" 🤣 And Josh does this through the whole series too!
@@FlameKoRn Well, in defense of Josh....most times it's a roll of the dice as to how things will pan out once a person goes into Leo's office! 😅 I'll have to keep an eye out for Josh dragging his feet! Salute👋
01:52 Couldn't agree with you more Josh. If only we can have a democratic President with the political mind and maneuver of LBJ. LBJ would have made the Joe Manchin's and Sinema's of this world piss in their pants if they ever opposed him.
The thing is that Josh later pushed a conservative democratic senator from Idaho too far - and he left the party and joined the Republicans. And the same thing would've happened with Manchin and Sinema.
@@danielk5780 The guy from Idaho was a congressman and no Manchin wouldnt have flipped. Manchin is only useful to republicans because he can block the progressive agenda. Manchin could never win in a GOP primary. Simena is very similar.
Optics are important. It is not so much the crime, it is how it looks to the public. You can be voted out of office or fired from your position just because it looks bad.
In that so our leaders are making well under 300,000$ per year, its confusing to see how they live lives of the 1%. I.E. You have a role that lasts 8 years, and you make about 200K per year, and you are raising two children. How do they end up building a home in Nantucket, and Hawaii while keeping a place in Washington DC.
Most, except for Truman, were well off before they went into public service. Franklin made out like Croesus on Poor Richard’s Almanac (ironic). Jeb Bartlett’s family practically founded New Hampshire
The dollar sign goes in front of the number. People who reach high levels in politics are generally independently wealthy from other sources. Many of them are lawyers, for example, or business leaders with a vested interest in politics.
@@stargazer7644 Not true. Notable examples. The Clinton’s , the Obama’s, I could go deeper but this makes my point. I apologize for the misplaced dollar sign. Please do not use that as an example of me not knowing what I am talking about.
@@beovp91 I'm not sure how you think those are examples. Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were both attorneys before entering politics. Clinton graduated from Yale law school and was attorney general for Arkansas, and Obama graduated from Harvard law school and was a civil rights attorney. Both of their wives are also attorneys. Attorneys make pretty good money.
Also, Presidents make $400,000 per year on their government income alone (up from $200k since 2001). Their DC residence and many (but not all) of their living expenses are provided for them while they're in office. Generally homeless people aren't elected to the presidency, so you probably shouldn't be surprised that they have another residence somewhere that they live in before and after their term in office. Rich people often have a vacation home too.

“Don’t tell anyone this happened.” Oh, boys.
It's such a great joke, but I feel like they made it too early. Like, give people a season or two to get used to the walk-and-talks first.
A good critique@@PaperbackWizard

After all these years I finally get the smoking jacket reference in Leo's office 😀🤣😂

now that you mention it....but he is the White House's attack dog after all. He's gotta own that sidewalk and the earth underneath it
mmm...believe me, people noticed...mmm...
@@prismaticmarcus 🤣🤣🤣
Its funny you say that cause he sometimes drags his feet. You can see it when he is entering Leo's office

“I sense I’m being mocked.”
Margret’s smile after the smoking jacket jab was glorious …
3:05 this was so early on we didn't know Leo was a recovering alcoholic at this moment, but obviousy Aaron did.
Well spotted. I never put that together
Great spot.
Except Leo attends an AA meeting at the end of the episode after VP Hoynes invites him to one he hosts for high ranking government officials.
@@Ozyman73 later in the same episode, yes five votes down he goes to the VP to talk to Tillinghouse. and invites him to his meeting.
The flaw here is that Margaret surely knew when Leo's anniversary is, and would have reminded him beforehand. She is 100% that kind of assistant.

@danielk5780 not with lbj as president, he would have crushed th we m
But if they sold tickets to the meeting, would they have to disclose it?
Only if they were more than $25 a pop.
Considering the aftermath of that particular meeting maybe it was better that there were no audience present...
Don't be stupid. How else would people know there are tickets to buy.

I really think that ship has sailed.
You guys should really get someone to type up these captions. Josh is "going to see cats and more"? He's gonna catch a couple of Broadway shows?
All I wanna do now is find that scene and watch it again ;)

This total garbage. The standard should be that the White House legal counsel has to prove that Tobby knew about the testimony and it’s effects.
Margaret is supposed to be this amazing assistant, but she didn’t remind Leo of his upcoming anniversary? Hmm…
Maybe she did.
@@PaperbackWizard You have to watch the episode. He's scrambling to make arrangements at the last minute.
@@flyboy152 I'm saying, maybe Margaret *did* remind him and he *still* forgot.
Not a work thing and as a husband he should have a clue.
@@wordfairy1 Seriously? The man is the chief of staff for the most important person in the world.
Trump Yes/ Harris No !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
