I watch West Wing clips for hours every few months ... there will never ever be a better show. I still find the one single flaw they had as demonstrated in this clip... a native New Hampshire resident would never pronounce "Concord" the way he pronounces it - "Con-chord". We pronounce it "Con-kerd."

Alas, the idea of a caring boss comforting an employee who had undergone a serious family loss and taking time out to be with them despite considerable obligations… is like the idea of the Concord and Lexington militia standing up and risking their lives for a cause far greater than themselves… this would prove much more a dream than a reality.

I just adore the relationship between Josh and Sam. It's everything I've ever wanted in a friendship.

Martin Sheen best hair in the business

Andrew Jackson didn't give away that for altruism, the cheese was in the White House for a year and his term was coming to an end and he would have to take that thing to his house because it was a personal gift, so he just decided to give it away

One of my FAVORITE WW moments

"Fear of rectangles." 😝

❤

The “I was in the House…I know nothing about Senate rules”…is undoubtedly one of the worst and dumbest lines ever in the show. Everyone in the DC Beltway over the age of 35 had seen “Mr. Smith Goes To Washington”…and there is zero chance that anyone in the roles they are playing wouldn’t. Let alone “Nobel Laureate Know-It-All” Jed Bartlett… It was absurd!

West Wing holiday episodes were amazing. This was one of the best.

This episode. especially the ending, is just another reason this was the GOAT tv show. “My question is in 22 parts”

How legends are borned

Sorkin at his proselytizing best--or worse: "Liberal ideology requires us all to act (in our capacity as citizens) as if we were blind to the true value of the most important social realities and institutions: the two-parent household, the unique mother-child bond, lifelong marital fidelity, and divine worship."--Daniel E. Burns is associate professor of politics at the University of Dallas.

False liberals did not end slavery. Republicans did.

I first watched this episode when I was a university student. Now I'm a father with two children and seeing my father, I feel like grandparents can do anything for their grandchildren.

Catholic school girl uniform would had been nice also.

interesting, the clean air act and the clean water act were signed into law by the nixon administration - liberal? who knew?

He fired everyone except Toby Ziegler, and that is why Leo McGarry was the best friend Jed Bartlet would ever have. 💖

for you Americans out there - he is your greatest President - but any to follow could also be that...

Liberal Republicans. A defunct and lost group that should be here today.

One of my very favorite episode!!! 🥹

Even in politics love can move mountains.

Wow!!! Bartlett did not know something!!!

The statue sub plot was just as awesome lol

Every senator, even Tuberville the Moroon knows the filibuster rules, including yielding for a question. Also, the Senate's presiding office is addressed as Mr. President (not Mr. Chairman). The question thing was to build drama, but getting the title wrong was just sloppy. However, Donna was her hand was cute.

If this was a corporate hold message would people just die laughing or toss themselves off a bridge?

I’m a staunch conservative, and I would vote for Jed Bartlet everyday of the week and twice on Sunday

One of my all-time favorites. Although, I could say that about so many of them.

This was the exact moment Jed became President. Bravo sorkin

This is my avengers endgame. I am hooting and hollering at flashbacks of a presidential campaign like it’s cap summoning mjolnir

Love this clip👍👍👍👍

Leo is the Boss We All WANT!!

R.I.P John Spencer.

Vicnick says in some african countries 30% tax and 20% on everything you buy(it might be shocker to americans ect but not us).. we always had that in 'Norway.. 37% tax and 25% on everything you buy :) despite this, we still prosper.

Jed bartler really owns a crowd!! That’s his playground , he sees a room full of people, he sees a room full of people to convince to do the right thing, whatever the thing maybe!

One of my favorite scenes from The West Wing.❤

The best part of this episode is how they have the voices of narration overlap each other, as a means of demonstrating how it takes more than one person to ever get anything done. I know most people probably don't even notice, but it does effect how you feel as you watch. One person does one thing that rolls into another person doing another thing, and so on, and the voice-overs roll one over to the next over to the next, never just cutting to a new voice but always having them say a few words together before moving on. This is how our democracy is supposed to work: a group of people work together for the common good of all. Unfortunately, we seem to have lost that understanding these days.

"Josh likes to explains things and well, I let him". Their relationship in a nutshell.

The best slow burn relationship

TRUTH is the greatest threat to the republican party!!!!! That’s why they lie so much!!!!!

This is Liberal Patriotism. Let’s make it real again.

Senator Organa just school Dr Benjamin Franklin Pierce lol

Sometimes it pays to listen when theres a boss who rambles along about a particular subject, which he/she might not be interested in. In this case, its Josh's knowledge of the Rules of the Senate.

Love that Donna being in love with Josh leads to moments like this, where she comes up with solutions to complex problems.

"There was quite a bit of sugar in the creme de caramel!" CJ: *(thinking)* "So I gathered!"

Taylor Robert Taylor Angela Lopez Kevin

That's when Jed adopted Josh.

Will he’s right about candidates that can’t speak in complete sentences.

And 11 years latter I think the republicans have succeeded in turning liberal into a bad word loaded with baggage.
