Gettin' imperialist with the Bartlet Administration! We crammed two episodes into one session this time around because the format of both is such that the writers basically split up a single 85 minute ep into two parts. Which is fine, because nothing resolves in the first half, and then only West-Wing-Resolves in the second!
A wonderful sneak peek behind the scenes of the neurotic concern over messaging during the State of the Union speech on both sides of the aisle. There's love! There's death! There's polls! There's a fabulous collection of guest stars! There's violating sovereign airspace unilaterally!
Music credit to Cyndi Lauper and Sabaton in addition to Phil Ochs this time.
(yes I'm aware Sabaton was writing about Vietnam, come at me)
