I think this may be the last show I'm ever this emotional about seeing go off the air. That's a scary thought.

Another good quote:

President Josiah Bartlet: Good. I like your show. I like how you call homosexuality an abomination.

Dr. Jenna Jacobs: I don't say homosexuality is an abomination, Mr. President. The Bible does.

President Josiah Bartlet: Yes it does. Leviticus.

Dr. Jenna Jacobs: 18:22.

President Josiah Bartlet: Chapter and verse. I wanted to ask you a couple of questions while I have you here. I'm interested in selling my youngest daughter into slavery as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. She's a Georgetown sophomore, speaks fluent Italian, always cleared the table when it was her turn. What would a good price for her be? While thinking about that, can I ask another? My Chief of Staff Leo McGarry insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly says he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself or is it okay to call the police? Here's one that's really important because we've got a lot of sports fans in this town: touching the skin of a dead pig makes one unclean. Leviticus 11:7. If they promise to wear gloves, can the Washington Redskins still play football? Can Notre Dame? Can West Point? Does the whole town really have to be together to stone my brother John for planting different crops side by side? Can I burn my mother in a small family gathering for wearing garments made from two different threads? Think about those questions, would you? One last thing: while you may be mistaking this for your monthly meeting of the Ignorant Tight-Ass Club, in this building, when the President stands, nobody sits.

Also, reading quotes from the Christmas episodes make me feel warm and fuzzy. That episode with the Whiffenpoofs got me all excited about hearing them at Yale, and then when I actually saw them sing, it was somewhat of a let down.

Margaret : I can sign the President's name. I have his signature down pretty good.
Leo : You can sign the President's name?
Margaret: Yeah.
Leo: On a document removing him from power and handing it to someone else?
Margaret: Yeah! Or...do you think the White House Counsel would say that was a bad idea?
Leo: I think the White House Counsel would say it was a coup d'etat!

Also, so, Grey's Anatomy tonight? I haven't seen it, but the guy who plays Denny is also in Kim Manners's new show that I was telling you about. And his character has two sons, and the season ended with a semi taking out their car, and I CANNOT EXPLAIN. I SIMPLY FLAIL.

"We've got separation of powers, checks and balances and Margaret, vetoing things and sending them back to the Hill."

Hee.
