| POTUS: I'm interested in selling my youngest daughter into slavery as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. She's a Georgetown sophomore, speaks fluent Italian, always cleaned the table when it was her turn. What would a good price for her be? My chief of staff, Leo McGarry, insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly says he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself or is it okay to call the police? Here's one that's really important cause we've got a lot of sports fans in this town: touching the skin of a dead pig makes one unclean. Leviticus 11:7 If they promise to wear gloves can the Washington Redskins still play football? Can Notre Dame? Can West Point? Does the whole town really have to be together to stone my brother, John, for planting different crops side by side? Can I burn my mother in a small family gathering for wearing garments made from two different threads? Think about those questions, would you? Moreover, while you may mistake this for being your monthly meeting of the tight-ass committee, in this White House, when the President stands, no one sits. SAM: I'm gonna take this crab puff. LEO: You guys are going out? CHARLIE: Yeah. LEO: You're taking extra protection, right? CHARLIE: Leo - LEO: Secret Service, Charlie, but thank you for hooking me up with that visual! |
