The West Wing Quote
Toby: We're fumbling. Our diplomatic strategy is a game of telephone.
Bartlet: Read the coverage. We're doing fine.
Toby: Today, sure, and the second day's story is how you pulled it off. But the third-day story is that Congress doesn't want to pay, that our coalition's fraying, that the spokes are coming off the wheels---
Bartlet: It's a couple of days. This was totally unexpected.
Toby: No it wasn't. Not with Leo's history with alcohol, with pills. Mr. President, surely you had a process in place.
Bartlet: Not for this. You think we'd even be doing this without him?
Toby: No, sir, but Leo is one person and there are 290 million more and they come first.
Bartlet: Read the coverage. We're doing fine.
