This is the last appearance that Lord John Marbury makes in the West Wing. I've spilt it up into two parts. I'm running out of ideas for West Wing videos so if you have any suggestions then let me know. Season Episode 14.

Blanket my loins...Not to be some moral righteous prude etc but say the shoe was on the other foot so to speak:. And I know it's just a TV show still say The Ambassador is a female and the staff is a male and the Ambassador is checking the man staff out sizing him up etc and another male walks in the room and her ambassadorship says oh my loins or my womb ...The guy or guys are not supposed have levels of discomfort cause we're guys?....I guess that answer is No

0:51 A little glitch here. A British peer is never adressed as Lord John, as he was some moments earlier by CJ. That's for younger sons of Dukes and Marquesses. But that's CJ and she can be forgiven. He himself however can't be. If he is the hereditary Earl of .... what was it? Shelworne? He can't be Lord Marbury. He's Lord Shelworne then. And the term hereditary Earl isn't used either. That Earl as such is an hereditary title speaks for itself...... 2nd, 3d, 4th or whatever number, followed by Earl is used instead.

@LGranthamsHeir 8 жыл бұрын

+Popperite Agreed. As Marbury's full titles were the Marquess of Needham and Dolby, the Earl of Croy, and Baronet of Brycey, by protocol he is supposed to be addressed as "The Marquess of Needham and Dolby" (his highest ranked title) or in short "Lord Needham"

Hillary enabled (taking bribes, not protecting people that worked for her, not protecting classified information), weakest economic recovery since the depression despite doubling the national debt, trying to tie us to the Paris climate deal while China tripling their CO2 output, losing hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs, paying Iran $150 billion based on the dream they would stop producing nuclear weapons material/developing rockets and funding attacks on Israel, insulting Britain and Israel, trying to influence Israeli elections and the Brexit vote (i thought Dems were outraged by that sort of thing), doing nothing about North Korea testing nuclear capable weapons, increasing racial divides by viewing so many issues as race based, disrupting city schools by demanding equivalent outcomes of things like suspensions based in race, not stopping the inflow of illegals,..... And what, other than "winning" a fraudulent Nobel prize, getting his wife to plant a White House garden, and giving the Republicans the House and Senate did Obama accomplish?

@garygienger9597 5 жыл бұрын

@Ivan Drago Insulting me and my "side" won't change Obama's many failures into successes. Just because the left wing media didn't mention the many Obama failures doesnt turn his administration into a success. As for race, remember the Cambridge cop he accused of racism or the Ferguson cop he and his DOJ tried to brand as racist claiming that the thug was walking away when shot but just happened to have gunpowder burns? Those cops and thugs were not named Obama. As far as the Nobel prize, it is hard to be be jealous of a joke. May you learn to evaluate and analyze for yourself so that you can establish fact based opinions, back them up in debate, and not feel the need to insult. Have a good life.

If he were a moron, then the economy wouldnt be better than its been in decades and unemployment wouldnt be at a 50 year low. Hell, even taxes went down. For everybody, not just the rich.
