Anybody else remembering "The West Wing" this week? With the debates coming up,

I've been re-reading the script for "Game On" and may pop over to hulu to see if they have it. It was a gem of a episode, with so many good quotes. Here's one of my favorites, where the President's staff is wondering whether his unassertive side (Uncle Fluffy) or is take-no-prisoners side will show up for the debate:

Well if we lose because of a ten-word answer, then I'm quitting show business.

What do you think?

I think it depends who shows up. If it's Uncle Fluffy, we've got problems. If it's the President, in his last campaign, his last debate, for the last job he'll ever have... if the President shows up, I think it'll be a sight to see, I mean a sight to see. What do you think?

I think you're going to enjoy yourself tonight.



I think we're going to enjoy ourselves on Wednesday.
