Revision as of 02:07, 6 March 2012


When the President is overheard making a disparaging comment on an open-mike about the potential Republican nominee, C.J. does damage control for days after while Toby tries to finesse the newly named poet laureate from spealing out against the United States' lack of support for a land-mines treaty. Elsewhere, Sam recalls Republican White House legal counsel Ainsley Hayes from vacation to help spin the administration's response to Bartlet's gaffe; Josh is both repulsed and intrigued by the fact that he has his own fan-based Web site -- LemonLyman.com; the President also ponders an effort to save a failing giant computer company.

Trivia

Donna and Margaret are looking at a website dedicated to Josh and run by his fans. It's called www.lemonlyman.com and is actually registered to Warner Bros Corporation.


Josh falling afoul of posters on the message board at 'lemonlyman.com' was taken from Aaron Sorkin's own experiences dealing with the message board at the TV site televisionwithoutpity.com.


Laura Dern and Richard Schiff were both in the feature film I Am Sam.

Goofs

When he's talking to Leo outside, Bartlett mentions drinkers at the Middle Temple honouring Princess Elizabeth. However, the date he mentions is 40 years after Queen Elizabeth died, and 60 years before Princess Elizabeth (daughter of George III) was born.

Quotes

CJ Cregg: Let me explain something to you, this is sort of my field. The people on these sites: they're the cast of One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest. The muumuu wearing Parliament smoker? That's Nurse Ratched. When Nurse Ratched's unhappy the patients are unhappy. You? You're McMurphy! You swoop in there with your card games and your fishing trips...

Josh: I didn't swoop in! I came in exactly the same way everybody else did.

CJ: Well, now I'm telling you to open the ward room window and climb on out before they give you a pre-frontal lobotomy and I have to smother you with a pillow.

Josh: You're Chief Brom...

CJ: I'm Chief Bromden yes at this particular moment. I'm assigning an intern from the press office to that website. They're going to check it every night before they go home. If they discover you've been there, I'm going to shove a motherboard so far up your ass...what?!

Josh: Well, technically, I outrank you...

CJ: So far up your ass!!
