The Slice

Your assignment, should you choose…

I wanted to post one of my favorite scenes from "The West Wing."

But I can't find it.

It's not an especially brainy moment for a show that had a lot of those. But if you were ever a 9-year-old boy, it had to get to you.

President Bartlet is on Air Force One, which is still on the ground. He says something like, "You want to see the best part of my job?"

Then he picks up the intercom phone and says, "Colonel, this is the president. I'm ready to go."

Almost before he has hung up the phone, we hear the big plane's engines roar to life.

Knocked me out when I first saw that.

Anyway, as I said, I can't find it online. So feel free to track it down and send it to me.
