The West Wing Quote

Will: You saw the wires. They counted the number of questions I was asked this morning because I didn't answer one of them.
CJ: You thought we were going to get good coverage this week?
Will: 47, by the way; a career high.
CJ: You have to let the press punch themselves out.
Will: You're talking to the punching bag. My job is to look like I'm not completely ignorant. Counsel won't even brief me on the details of Toby's firing.
CJ: I asked them not to.
Will: Don't you want me to have a shred of credibility in the briefing room?
CJ: Your ignorance is your credibility. That's why I put you in this job. And your constituents aren't in that room, they're in distressed urban areas. You brief at 4: 00.
Will: 0 for 47. I'm the Jamaican Bobsledding Team!
