The Great West Wing Rewatch: 7.11 "Internal Displacement"
Chris: In this episode, and in real life I'm sure, the position of Chief of Staff basically serves as a filter for the president, leaving out any unnecessary information that the president doesn't need to be bothered with. Typically in an episode, there's one issue the CJ has to deal with and filter for the president but in this, she has 3 plates spinning, all of which has to do with individual interests rather than seeing the bigger picture and how it would affect the president, that's where CJ comes in. And of all of Bartlet's daughters, this one in particular is my least favorite because you're telling me that she's fighting so hard that her kids see their father in a positive way even though he hasn't deserved or earned any of it? That's ridiculous. It's a temporary scandal that she's hoping to weather that could be a giant black cloud over her father, the president, and his legacy. Has Jed Bartlet cheated on anybody? We have no rea...
