Jed Bartlet to Barack Obama: Get angrier!
Maureen Dowd of The New York Times shares Aaron Sorkin’s account of what a meeting between West Wing’s President Josiah (Jed) Bartlet and Senator Barack Obama would be like, and the advice Bartlet would give to the presidential candidate:
GET ANGRIER! Call them liars, because that’s what they are. Sarah Palin didn’t say “thanks but no thanks” to the Bridge to Nowhere. She just said “Thanks.” You were raised by a single mother on food stamps — where does a guy with eight houses who was legacied into Annapolis get off calling you an elitist? And by the way, if you do nothing else, take that word back. Elite is a good word, it means well above average. I’d ask them what their problem is with excellence.
