A perpetual drunk and a recovering alcoholic (both politicians) together in the same room. No wonder Leo likes the man😂😂😂

Lord John Marbury: Pure legend

Lord Marbury secretly invented what we call today the trolling.

"...No." LOL!

"When people get a little too chummy with me I like to call them by the wrong name to let them know I don't really care about them."

He winds Leo deliberately because he greatly respects him. John Marburg doesn’t waste his time needling people he doesn’t respect

The west wing, and Lord John Marbury‘s lines were some of the best written for American television.

What a great character.

Leo the Roman, Lord John the Greek.

RIP Roger Rees (May 5, 1944 - July 10, 2015), aged 71 And RIP John Spencer (December 20, 1946 - December 16, 2005), aged 58 You both will be remembered as legends.

He should have been addressed as Lord Needham, as the title comes from the estate, not his surname. Also, his Marquess title would outrank his Earldom.

I wonder to what extent this character is based on the late Christopher Hitchens...

Transformers vibes

Gerald!!

Roger Rees was an astonishing actor, and Lord Marbury a wonderful character. He's the Red Adair of politics, a silent guardian.

why do I see Arthur in this clip hahahah

"Well then! Thank God you sent for me." Damn, what a boss line.

Another flaw in this episode. Barlett as a Catholic new testament would absolutely know the revelations quote. I beheld a pale horse etc.

dear sweet Leo , Pres Barlett could not have paied that man enough money, it HAD to be love and friendship

I love this character. If I were President, he is the type of guy I'd want to work with. He's eccentric, but well connected, intelligent, has a sense of humor and gets stuff done. I'd cut him a lot of slack and give a lot of respect.

Gerald..😁😅😂

Jed Bartlet - Lord Marburry's friendship echoes real-life friendships between past leaders of US and UK - between Ronald Reagan & Margaret Thatcher, George W Bush and Tony Blair, etc. It reminds us all about the 'special relationship' between the two nations as well.

I wish after Leo asks “who?” and the president looks at him and just grins or smiles because he knows how much this is going to annoy Leo.

Later on in the episode Leo and President Bartlet are talking and say one of my favorite lines. Leo: "He thinks I'm the Butler." Bartlet: "For the first couple of weeks, so did I."

Lord Marburry's proper title: The Most Honorable John Marburry, 12th Marquess of Needham and Dolby, Earl of Croy, Baronet of Brycey, former Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the United States from the Court of St. James's.

Doesn't matter how many times I hear "We can hide the women, but the man deserves a drink" but I always laugh out loud

I bet Lord John and Leo are still having their skirmishes in heaven....

Thanks for putting these lessons on KZfaq.

I love Leo dearly and I always will. But it is kind of fun see Marbury tweak his nose from time to time. XD

I love how he needs to get a running start on a handshake and almost throws up on the presidents desk!!!

Oh God Help Me!

REALLY???

Gerald!

When we moved back from Sweden for the second time, some of what we had shipped was water damaged. I mean a waste basket with about 8" of water in it! (Soaking whatever we had put inside it.) There was only one thing that was missing, but much was destroyed. I can relate to the gut wrenching feeling you describe. As you say, a lesson in not storing up treasures on earth.

Roger was the perfect choice

Yep, that left me LAUGHING.

A truly wonderful talent. I pray Roger Rees found all the ways to fulfill all his hopes and dreams as both a professional actor and mere mortal, and during the worst of times when the lights would go dark, and only he could accept and make peace with. I remember him best from his stand-out moments on West Wing, among others. He had the special gift of making the lens his tool for all our own to enjoy, and repeatedly go back to. Rest in Peace, Roger Rees.

I always thought he would have made a great Dr. Who.

Great stuff! Love the conversation between Bartlett and McGarry.

@sunnchilde He *is* a bit like Columbo! I never noticed that. I was absorbed by what a character he was on his own!

It's so rare that dear Leo gets owned by anyone...but Lord John almost always left Leo so flustered. Poor Leo :) Oh I miss this show.

This man is who I aspire to be...

i have all 7 seasons. one of the best tv shows of our time.

Lord John was fantastic. He had a bit of Columbo in him. He would shuffle about and sometimes look disheveled, but then at the critical moment he was say something so sober and insightful that it would shock you.

He's like James Bond, only better.

He's like Matt Smith's Doctor..

@WittleTeacup yea ur right im sorry

white people always get evr thing and dont have to work for it ( teens) no raicism but i always work hard my things i didnt get a new car i had to go buy one myself

@thatdrattedcat exactly

LMFAO I love Lord Marbury! He makes me laugh hysterically. "I'm Leo McGarry" "Oh, I thought you were the butler!" hahahahaha poor Leo! :P
