Second to The Wire but an extremely close second. Love both shows. I just think The Wire was the most important show ever written due to its direct discussion of the plight of drugs on the inner cities of our country.
I *love* the end of this... CJ: "So... let me see if I have this... a hurricane's picked up speed and power and is heading for Georgia; management and labor are coming here to work out a settlement to avoid a crippling strike that'll begin at midnight tonight, and the government's planning a siege on 18-40 of its' citizens; all the while we host a state dinner for the President of Indonesia." *everybody voices their approval of CJ's assessment* "Amazingly, ya know what I'm gonna get asked most often today?" Josh: "What?" CJ: "Sondra?" Sondra: "I'm sorry, CJ..." CJ: "Black suede and velvet Malolo Blahnik (sp?) slides with a rhinestone and mother of pearl toe buckle."
yeah, except they're not doing theirs. that's the problem. there were three events that ranged from national news to national crises, and all the white house press corp cared about was what kind of expensive clothing the women would be wearing. it's not classy, it's classist.
@@claudiagreen9277 Those people were all from magazines like In Style that focus on fashion topics. They asked those kinds of questions because that's what their publications focus on. So they were doing their jobs, CJ just didn't have any sort of respect for them or their choice in profession.
@@Raziel21 I think the instyle magazine crack was rhetorical? I thought c.j.'s point was that the actual, serious, white house press corp was playing fashion magazine as if they were in style.
@@claudiagreen9277 The whole press core is usually sixty something people in that big room. This scene was just CJ and 10 people talking about the dinner and she mentions Mirabella along with In Style. I get that CJ thinks less of such publications and that the press should be focused on 'serious' matters, but that's not what those types of magazines cover. They weren't being sexist, they were doing their jobs and CJ was belittling them for it.
Allison nailed this... And she makes it look easy
it's wine you'll drink it. - accurate
"....It's a good thing I went to school for 22 years!"
Another example of why this was the best written show on television.

Allison is just so damn good.
CJ was on top of it.
As always!

And. That’s the truth
Thank you for this. We have the DVDs but sometimes, you just want to show a friend. :-)
This is one of the (many) reasons why she became Leo's replacement.
and with the air of one who suffers fools gladly … I do sooooooo love her! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
CJ Craig … like a boss.
She is the boss
Damn CJ always kills it!
the tone is perfect
Always astonishes me that “people “ need to know who is wearing what and to which event ? Why is this?
We're nosy 😊
God Bless Claudia Jean Craig.
Damn she's good!
I'll have to circle back to you on that--
Journalist at the end must have been using shorthand. My ears can't listen fast enough let alone transcribe anything.
I respect that CJ is good at her job, but she could respect that those people were just trying to do theirs.

Those were just fashion/ style magazine reporters
Never understood why all the interest in what people are wearing.
Pretentious
