From the episode "Posse Comitatus" during which CJ's SS agent is killed during a holdup. At the end of the episode, President Bartlett and Gov. Ritchie meet in a corridor at a NY play. Bartlett eats Ritchie's lunch.

1. "In the future, if anyone asks: 'Crime; Boy, I dunno', is when I decided to kick your ass!" |

I didn't even see the video. I've got it memorized from the 2-3 times yearly that I watch Seasons 1-4 on DVD. (Seasons 5-7 don't truly exist for me. 'TWW' is Aaron Sorkin's show. Without Sorkin, it's not really TWW.)

5. The Ritchie character was clearly based on George W. Bush |
|
and of course Bartlett won in a wipeout.
It always seemed like Aaron Sorkin was trying to teach the Democrats a lesson in messaging and campaigning every week.
