Gone Quiet

From West Wing Wiki

When an American spy submarine suddenly goes silent in hostile North Korean waters, an angry President (Martin Sheen) receives advice from Assistant Secretary of State Albie Duncan (Hal Holbrook), who's been around since Truman, and must decide whether he should notify the enemy or attempt a risky, secret rescue.

Abigail (Stockard Channing), learns that her past malpractice suits might be Bartlet's Achilles heel in his criminal investigation.

In other White House action, C.J. (Allison Janney) is ecstatic over a potential presidential candidate's nearly incoherent answer to the question, "why do you want to be president?". At least she is until she wonders if Bartlet can answer the question. Toby (Richard Schiff) meets with a representative from an appropriations committee who wants to funnel money away from Congress' funding of artists to prevent avant-garde artists from using government money.

[edit] Quotes

"We all need some therapy because somebody came along and said liberal means soft on crime, soft on drugs, soft on Communism, soft on defense. And we're going to tax you back to the stone age because people shouldn't have to work if they don't want to. And instead of saying 'Well, excuse me, you right-wing reactionary, xenophobic, homophobic, anti-education, anti-choice, pro-gun Leave it to Beaver trip back to the '50s'. We cowered in the corner and say, 'Please don't hurt me'. . . . Let's have two parties. . . ."- Bruno Gianelli
