简介:枪击事件正值美国国内的中期选举,即除了总统之外的众议院、各州立法院和州政府的选举。民意对总统Bartlet的支持率高达81%,这让多数幕僚感到选举势头的紧迫,因为这一看似高涨的数字仅仅是“同情分”(soft)而不足以支撑Bartlet将来的连任。Charlie在枪击发生后,一直无法面对Zoey,对其他同事和总统的态度也相对冷淡。Sam劝说在杜克大学的同学TomJordan参加竞选议员,称总统和真个团队都会力挺他。Toby则力图借此机会对国内恐怖主义大做文章,试图为日后的选举布阵。在白宫举行的广播工作者招待酒会(TalkRadioreception)上,Bartlet到场致辞。与会的每个人都起立致敬,唯独JennaJacobs(电台主持人和作者)一人坐在原地不动。Bartlet不得不临时篡改Sam写好的致辞,转而对傲慢的Jenna进行了毫不掩饰的挖苦和讽刺。 ------------------------------------------------------------ IMDBTrivia: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0745700/trivia PresidentBartletcriticizesareligiousfundamentalistradiotalkshowhostnamedJennaJacobs'withhisdetailedknowledgeofscripture.ThesegmentwasadoptedfromafamousInternetchainletterallegedlysenttoDr.LauraSchlessinger,onwhomtheJacobscharacterwasbased,andseveralofBartlet'squestionsareidenticaltothequestionsposedintheletter.
