This is definitely pre 2005 because they talked about raising the minimum wage

2:57 Kristi Noem?…..

Big mistake letting this fine actress and her very popular character go. Had great chemistry with the West Wing cast.

brilliant writing

After she accepts the drink, the next scene shows many shadows suggesting that the sun has moved a lot since then

“The President likes smart people who disagree with him.” Neither of the 2024 candidates can make this claim.

She was worried about peeing on the carpet and then Leo was also 😂😂

My God she is adorable

Spoiler Alert: She turned down the job to become a CSI in ... Miami I think? Yeah, Miami.

She wasted on CSI

Makes you think just how naive we were back then..

One of my favourite characters, Ainsley and Mrs Langerham.

2:57 - Would a Republican really kill their pets? I find that very hard to believe.

“You don’t kill your pets, do you?” And in 2024, we actually have high profile Republicans who…kill their pets…

“Is it possible they have darker skin than you.” “That’s rich coming from a member of the party that started the Ku Klux klan”

Biden should watch this show, maybe he can learn a thing or two of what being a Democrat President means.

I really liked her accent and the way she apoke.....which part of America would she have come from? 🙂....🇬🇧

In an earlier scene Josh talks with Donna about his favorite teacher and mentions a “Mr. Feig” who taught his high school American History A.P. and Con Law classes. Werner Feig was Aaron Sorkin’s (and my) wonderful history teacher of both courses at Scarsdale High School in NY. I’ve never smiled more than in 2002 when I was watching the original broadcast of this episode and heard Sorkin’s tribute to Mr. Feig.

CJ Cregg thinks you kill your pets. Hearing this in 2024. Wow

No not everyone has an FBI file.

Ainsley was a treasure.

John Spencer was incredible as Leo because you never knew what you'll be getting from him be it seriously or in this case, very light but poignant as anything. And I thought Ainsley was adorable because she was bright, spunky and extremely offbeat, tailor made for this series.

This is why this was one of the best shows ever made.

Every time I see her scenes, can't help but wonder why the powers that be let her go!!!!!

Wish to know how Ainsley would feel about Trump.

Most of goverment is good, its the leadership that is corrupt.

This was such an excellent interaction!

There's a lot Republicans dont understand. 😂

Can I have THAT muffin?

😥😠🤨😂

God she's hot

She's definitely an INTJ.

Much loved character. They did not utilise her enough.

The epitome of cuteness ...

Is it just me or is the Joey Heatherton reference kind of out of date for that time period? I've found it strange even on the first viewing

You can't eat my lunch.

Ainsley Hayes! One of the best characters ever on one of the shows with so many of the best characters ever!

That kill your pets line hits different in 2024 since Gov Noem decided to be her own Woodward and Bernstein about Old Yellergate.

I loved The West Wing. It was the best TV show ever.

"How are you doing, Ainsley?" "My mouth is dry, my hands are moist and I have to pee." "Okay." I'm going to start using that!😂😂😂

When the President asks you to serve, you serve! Well that's the way it should be anyway

*So* love at 1:48 when the proverbial "penny" drops :D

The President is asking you to serve. How can you say no to that?😀

TWW was ahead of it's time. "CJ Craig thinks you kill your pets". In 2024, we have Republicon politicians who shoot their pets in gravel pits.

It was such a shame that Ainsley never became a regular in the show. One of the best characters by far.

"Would you like a glass of scotch?" "Yes please."

Never realized that Ainsley talking about the effect of alcohol is a set up for the episode "And it's Surely to Their Credit"

I bought a quarter season pass this past year but ended up going to nearly 25 Blue Jackets games. Crazy yet awesome!! I love my team and became addicted to hockey this year all because I wanted to learn the game. I’ve got a lot more to learn though I can at least recognize all my team’s players. Hey - it’s a start. Just found your channel and look forward to watching more videos!!!

Can someone get her a cupcake 😂😂😂

".....and everything else rest is crap" Perfect
