You’re a son of a bitch, you know that? She bought her first new car and you hit her with a drunk driver. Was that supposed to be funny? “You can’t conceive, nor can I, the appalling strangeness of the mercy of God”, says Graham Green. I don’t know whose ass he was kissing there because I think you’re just vindictive. What was Josh Lyman, a warning shot? That was my son. What did I ever do to yours but praise his glory and praise his name? There’s a tropical storm that’s gaining speed and power. They say we haven’t had a storm this bad since you took out that tender ship of mine in the North Atlantic last year, 68 crew. You know what a tender ship does? It fixes the other ships. It doesn’t even carry guns. It just goes around and fixes the other ship and delivers the mail. That’s all it can do. Gratias tibi ago, domine. Yes, I lied. It was a sin. I’ve committed many sins. Have I displeased you, you feckless thug? 3.8 million new jobs, that wasn’t good? Bailed out Mexico. Increased foreign trade. Thirty million new acres of land for conservation. Put Mendoza on the bench. We’re not fighting a war. I’ve raised three children. That’s not enough to buy me out of the dog house? Haec credam a deo pio? A deo iusto, a deo scito? Cruciatus in crucem. Tuus in terra servus, nuntius fui. Officium perfeci. Cruciatus in crucem. Eas in crucem!

President Jed Bartlet, Two Cathedrals (The West Wing). (via notabadday)

Who knew? This can make me tear-up even in text form. It’s when he calls Josh his son, I swear, every time.
