Leo said just now that there was going to be an NEC briefing on scoring and tell her what I said.
'What's wrong with booze and a comfortable pickup?'
No, I see there's no hour too early for your Noel Cowardesque wit, sir.

Mr. President, the U.S. is trampling on the sovereignty of my country and on behalf of Nzele–
I've just taken your airport... clearing the way for the 101st Air Assualt to take the capitol. Seven thousand troops, twenty-five battle tanks, fifteen Apache attack helicopters, and three destroyers. Strictly speaking, I conquered your country without the paperwork.
Kundu is in the midst of a civil war.
No, it's not. It's in the midst of a one-sided slaughtering of an entire people.
Don't be fooled: they love us in Orange County. They're crazy-go-nuts for the President – really, the whole Democratic Party in general. I think they really like it when we come to town. When we were there last month, we were working the crowd, and some young boys – worried, possibly, that I couldn't afford fruits and vegetables on a government salary – tossed me some of their own.
You want to go to Orange County?
I think we have to go. [to Bartlet] Even though there's $1,300 with your name on it if you don't make me go with you.
Get over the dress, would you?
It was a suit, and they hit me with an avocado!
It could have been worse.
How?
They could have hit me.
Listen to me. We've got all kinds of atmospheric cabin pressure up here. We're a little late, so the Colonel's put the hammer down in a 747. You've got wind shear, downdraft, massive turbulence, not to mention four giant engines burning jet fuel at galactic temperatures. We're standing in a flying death tube! [people look up] No, not the rest of y-y-you, it's just my family. It's fine. Look...
What do you want me to do, step off?
Also, you've got twins in there; you're basically a minivan. How are you fitting into a seat?
Uh-uh... I saw him first, girls.

Kundu is in the midst of a civil war.
No, it's not. It's in the midst of a one-sided slaughtering of an entire people. Both the Secretary General of the United Nations and the Vatican have pleaded with President Nzele for a cease-fire and both the U.N. and the Holy Father have struck out to the peril of 115,000 Induye men, women, and God knows children, particularly the boys.
Who will soon be men and will rise up...
The heads of Ghana, Nigeria and Zaire have similarly sent packing. The Red Cross has been denied entry on three separate occasions in the last ten days. President Nzele has 36 hours to give the command to his troops to hand over their weapons to the 82nd Airborne Division of the United States Army. At 36 hours and -one minute-, I give the order for the 101st Air Assault to take Bitanga and run up our flag. I skipped breakfast. Anybody want coffee or something?
