Groot West Wing fan en ben hier toch wel heel erg van geschrokken. Schaduw over deze dag, die o zo passend donker en somber is.
Leo & John, rust in vrede. Jullie worden gemist. Bedankt voor alle mooie herinneringen.
Een paar mooie Leo McGarry quotes:
" I am making a mental list of those who are snickering, and even as I speak I'm preparing appropriate retribution."
"Well then, you're just as stupid as these people who think that capital punishment will act as a deterrent to drug kingpins. As if drug kingpins didn't live their day to day lives under the possibility of execution, and their executions are a lot less dainty than ours, and tend to take place without the bother and expense of due process. So, my friend, if you want to start using American military strength as the arm of the Lord, you can do that. We're the only superpower left. You can conquer the world, like Charlemagne. But you better be prepared to kill everyone. And you had better start with me because I will raise up an army against you and I will beat you. "
"What do you want me--'The President while riding a bike on his vacation in Jackson Hole came to a sudden arboreal stop.' What do you want from me?"
"If we're going to walk into walls I want us running into them full speed. We're going to lose some of these battles, and we might even lose the White House, but we're not going to be threatened by issues. We're going to bring 'em front and center. We're going to raise the level of public debate in this country, and let that be our legacy."
"The President's nothing if not contemplative, Senator. The man makes the Prince of Denmark seem reactionary."
"Because I'm tired of it. Year, after year, after year, after year, having to choose between the lesser of who cares. Of trying to get myself excited about a candidate who can speak in complete sentences. Of setting the bar so low I can hardly look at it. They say a good man can't get elected. Well, I don't believe that."
