@@vdoggydogg3922 I think he resigned as of August 1, 2024, yesterday on my calendar. I'm a Democrat. Good riddance to him. We need to see more charges and more convictions. There are a couple Supreme Court Justices that should be getting a good look by the DOJ about now.
When I saw sitting duck, I was wondering what that was about and clicked to watch. I sort of figured something was amiss, thought I'd see an actual duck, sitting, but couldn't put my finger on it until your comment. I suppose it worked as click bait.
I think they chose it on purpose. After all, they use the term "lame duck" multiple times in this clip, and it's the name of the episode, so it'd be pretty weird if they'd missed it. Also, it's in the video description, so you know they know what it is.
I see this more and more with clips from films and TV. Is it not deliberate, in an effort to make it more difficult for TH-cam to pick up on and remove via a copyright strike?
Asking Charlie for some aspirin OR some kind of weapon to kill people with!......This absolutely made me laugh out loud today as It did back in 2000 when I first saw this episode! Still works on so many level! Cheers West Wing Warriors 👋
I think it is Charlie. There is a three day waiting period for Aspirin. The GOP thinks that there should be reasonable restrictions and a background check so that the wrong people don't get it.
If I had a few t-shirts with, "it was a better organised thought when it was in my head" printed on the front it'd probably save me a helluva lot of time.
The harder CJ chides a reporter, the more confidently she predicts the future about something in the press briefing, the more of a certainty it is she’ll have to walk it back.
Is this the one with a Senator/Congressman who lost reelection refusing to vote for a treaty that he actually supports, because he thinks that's respecting the will of the people?
But also fair and almost always the smartest guy in the room. He saw the problem before the advisors did. Frequently he even put them to task for things that journalists are SUPPOSED to put them to task for, like who was in charge while Bartlett was in surgery for the gunshot wound. The press is *supposed* to be the 4th Estate of American politics, the Vox Populi. They're supposed to hold our leaders to task, to ask them why they aren't following the constitution or why they aren't following process or what they're getting the people involved into. Too often in my lifetime they've resorted to cheerleading one side or the other depending on which channel you watch, and not often enough do they critique policy.
All those egos talking across each other sort of cringe worthy scripts if it wasn't fiction it might be entertaining but it is very cringe unworthy fiction
"There's no money in the foreign relations committee." Uh, I don't think Bob Menendez got that memo.
LMAO!! Fair point
How has he not resigned already? the jury came back as gully.

@cdjhyoung if he was not from nj you would think differently I think, maybe from a state with a republican govenor.
Things were different back in the 90s.
How about "the new Senate will ratify the treaty and we really don't care what condition his body is in at the time..." 😅😂
Lame duck, not sitting duck. A sitting duck is something else.
Right? How did that get through?

Maybe the duck is sitting because it is lame. Or it could be lame because it has been sitting too long.

So many of those casual, throwaway, incredibly funny moments in the show.
@@vickicole4787 YES....and they still seem to be relevant today! Cheers Vicki 👋
Charlie
Spoiler: he didn't get the weapon!
If I had a few t-shirts with, "it was a better organised thought when it was in my head" printed on the front it'd probably save me a helluva lot of time.
I love how Charlie doesn't specify which he's going to get for the President, aspirin or a weapon.
"Josh, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration..."
"No."
😂😂😂😂😂
You just know Charlie would have sourced a weapon if he'd though Bartlet was serious.
Absolutely! :)
My guess is that he already has a weapon sourced for _when_ Barlett wants one.
He's got a whole collection of meat knives in his desk that were previously considered but rejected by the President.
Bit of a cliffhanger there... what did Charlie return with?!
"It's gonna look like politics."
"It *is* politics."
this scene is why aaron sorkin is the greatest writer in the business.
Hang on. What did Charlie end up bringing for him?
The aspirin. For a weapon, Bartlett would need to talk to Ron Butterfield.
@@Dafmeister1978 But he has sent Charlie out to find knives for him and he delivered.
Charlie brought in the Paul Revere carving knife and Bartlet ended up murdering Sam. It’s why his character disappeared from the show.
"Aspirin or a Weapon" That is expressing Exasperation!
Remember the Famous Native American Hunkpapa Lakota leader "Lame Bull"?

pretty sure yes
200 mile radius ? An antimatter weapon ?
Danny was always such a smug prick
Well, he was a filthy journo... 🤷♂️

People talk like this all the time. apparently you never talk to anyone other than your wall
Oh relax
seemed pretty realistic to me.
If the characters spoke the way real people speak in every day life you would be bored to death.
Then don't watch.
