West Wing: The leak (spoiler)
Reminder: The West Wing is on!

Toby just admitted to leaking the classified info!

The White House counsel told him he must IMMEDIATELY turn over his keys, that he cannot even go alone in his office, and so forth.

Gee - will the real White House treat Rove this way?

Doubt it!

1. I'm watching this, and all I'm thinking about is the CIA leak case.
Too bad the real White House doesn't take leaking classified info seriously.

3. Gheeze....I'm watching this now.....
and thinking, Meir's is a Whitehouse counsel just like Oliver. Maybe that was *bush's motivation......in light of the scandal in his house and all.

4. The Unfortunate Truth IS....
That Toby, Richard Schiff is in real life a democrat. You may recall seeing him at the Dem Nat'l Convention. Also in real life, the network didn't like the liberal slant and honesty that Toby portrayed, and wanted him gone. Hence the story line.

Doesn't seem much like watching anymore.

if that was the case NBC would have had someone nuke DC leaving no survivors on the show...Vinick included

6. Uh...This isn't real life. He'll be on for the rest of the season.

If NBC wanted him gone, it would have happened six seasons ago.

Bradley Whitford is a Huge Lefty. On AAR all of the time.

7. I THOUGHT CJ TOLD THE NY TIMES REPORTER
I recall her talking to Brock about the classified info. Am I confused? She looked awful worried at the end of the show. And next week looks pretty good as well - LIVE DEBATE!

The technical aspects and camera work of tonights show were phenomenal.

11. Me, too. I remember her leaking something to Bonaduce.
Was that the secret military rocket project? Or something else?

Plus, why is she looking so guilty? Why isn't Toby looking guilty?

The show was incredible. It was painful to think Toby will never be back in the white house.


I wonder how they'll keep his character in the story line. Just lawyer scenes? Courtroom?

With the defections to the Santos/Vinnick campaigns, and now, this, they're emptying the cast list ahead of the election. It's sad. I love Toby's passion.

It was some great acting for Sheen to hurt him that badly. Wow. I didn't expect them to write that like they did.

Great show. I drove home from Canada 7 hours to be home in time!

8. I had to watch West Wing on the Internet. It's all hurricane coverage here

It's the first time I've watched a TV show on my computer. Not bad! All the South Florida channels are covering Wilma non-stop. Except the channel carrying the World Series. :)

I had tears in my eyes when President Bartlett did his thing to Toby. Then when I saw CJ tearing up I realized how much I'm going to miss this show and all these characters.
