| Never miss an opportunity to be Batman!  |
Someone brought up the West Wing in another discussion and it got me thinking about my favorite scene from it: | ||

I recognized the scene from your title, one of the most powerful scenes from the entire series IMHO. “We truly live in a wondrous age of stupid.” - 83v45magna "I think it's important that people understand free speech doesn't mean free from consequences societally or politically or culturally." -Pranjit Kalita, founder and CIO of Birkoa Capital Management | |||

Yea, no matter how many times i've seen it, it always hard for me to watch it. “We truly live in a wondrous age of stupid.” - 83v45magna "I think it's important that people understand free speech doesn't mean free from consequences societally or politically or culturally." -Pranjit Kalita, founder and CIO of Birkoa Capital Management | |||

Yes you do need to watch the whole episode. There is a scene earlier with Mrs. Langingham talks about her boys.....which kind of explains why she asks to go with Toby in the above scene. I got this from a post to the episode: After reading through the script, the Pentagon was very touched by the handling of the story line dealing with the death of a homeless veteran of the Korean conflict. In fact, they were so impressed that they gave the show access to film at Arlington National Cemetery, (ANC is administered by the U.S. Army Military District of Washington). The Department of Defense then supplied the Marine Honor Guard and chaplain, and set up the whole funeral. During the funeral scene, all persons in uniform are members of the U.S. Armed Forces, performing their actual roles in a military funeral. Richard Schiff has said that it was such a powerful and moving story, that after every take, he broke down and cried. The fourth man in the funeral scene at Arlington Cemetery was John C. Metzler Jr., then-superintendant of Arlington National Cemetary, portraying himself.http://westwing.bewarne.com/queries/phonenumber.html#funeral The tie in to the Little Drummer Boy is extremely powerful. | |||

The first 4ish seasons of that show were so good....doesn’t matter your politics....yes, Sorkin is a liberal and it leaks through...but their treatment and respect for the military and the institutions they portrayed were excellent Merry Christmas everyone —————————————————— If the meek will inherit the earth, what will happen to us tigers? | |||
