Leo's line is perfect 'We are standing pretty close to the engines so it may have sounded like I said "Notre Dame is going to get the ass kicking they so richly deserve."
wow, I LOVED and still LOVE this show and watched every episode including this one, I remember CJ making fun of Notre Dame, but I never noticed the other jokes in this segment, like the whole bus going off the record, Bartlet playing with Leo and then Leo teasing him and in the end the hat CJ had to wear AND take a picture with. Thank you tons for the uploader
There is another episode where Bartlett gets on the plane, grabs the phone and says something to the effect. "General, it's the President. I'm ready to go." I think he even says it's the best part of him job. Indeed it would be.
C.J: Also on this evening's trip are Deputy Communications Director Sam Seaborn and, well, me. Danny: I thought you weren't going on the trip. C.J: I am now going on the trip. Danny: Are you being punished? C.J: I'm not being punished, I'm going on the trip. Danny: If the whole bus goes off the record, will you tell us why you're going on the trip? C.J: (Reluctantly) ... I made fun of Notre Dame. (The reporters on the bus react with shock and disapproval.) C.J: I usually get away with it! Reporter: They're playing Michigan tomorrow. C.J: I know that now. Danny: You can't bring that stuff when they're playing Michigan. C.J: Well, I'll have a lot of time to think about that on the midnight flight to Portland, Danny.
As a staunch Republican, and Ohio State Buckeye fan, let me say I fully support President Bartlett, and I'm proud to join him in saying Michigan sucks.
That’s a crew member, not the pilot. First, the pilot would be on the flight deck, and second, he’s an enlisted man whereas the pilots are always officers, and for AF1, high-ranking ones.
you didn't say baltimore sucks no sir i thought you said baltimore sucks no sir were standing pretty close top the engine so it may of sounded like i said the the 49ers are going to get the ass kicking they so richly diserve
They did, this show aired in the late 90s and early 2000s. Nowadays they definitely don’t like eachother but Michigan is one of the best teams in the country and has a bitter rivalry with Ohio State University, while Notre Dame hasn’t been able to recapture their glory from 20 years ago.
