A Goof?
"Toby Ziegler states "honor thy father is the third commandment." It's the fifth in Judaism and some Christian denominations regard it is as the fourth."

From my understanding this isn't really a goof, and certainly not from the standards set by the other "goofs" on this page. Toby and Mary Marsh and the other two guys whose names I can't remember right now continually get the numbers of the commandments wrong before President Bartlet gives the first commandment "I am the Lord your God.." etc. Thoughts? --Ijnixon (talk) 19:10, 25 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Regardless whether they got the number right, it certainly did provide Martin Sheen with the best entrance line in the entire recorded history of television, didn't it?

 * ljnixon, I quite disagree. Considering the fact that Toby was attempting to correct the guy, and that he's usually portrayed as well informed, this is a big goof. What surprised me was that they went on to make another mistake. The first is "I am the Lord your God..." and then something about the slavery and Egypt. "Thou shall worship no other God before me" is in fact the beginning of the 2nd commandment. Isn't it? Dlivnat (talk) 12:15, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Proposed addition of an Inaccuracy.
Sam Seaborn says the Roosevelt room is named after Franklin D Roosevelt. Mallory O'Brien attempts to correct Sam, saying that the room is in fact named after Theodore, pointing out that his portrait hangs in the room. In fact the room is named after both Franklin and Theodore, and both of their portraits hang in the room.

Exocet
The article lists as an inaccuracy that Leo said he proposed an "exocet" missile launch against his airforce noting that "exocet" is a missile that would not be used by the US because the US has other missiles, and not Exocet missiles in it's inventories. That is true, but primarily in the UK after the striking effectiveness of the Exocet missiles in the Faulkland war apparently exocet has come into use as an adjective meaning basically very effective, or crippling strike. So I think in the script he could mean he recommended an overwhelming first strike to criple their airforce rather then a strike specifically using Exocet missiles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.73.32.198 (talk) 09:39, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
