Talk:The Stormy Present

"It was made clear that Newman lost a bid for re-election to Lassiter"

Where in the episode does it state that? EJB341 23:13, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure it doesn't say that. I messaged the IP user who added that but have received no reply. I'm removing that sentence. --Hnsampat 00:41, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

"As is the prerogative of former Presidents, Newman — somewhat to Bartlet's chagrin — opts to receive daily national intelligence briefings"

I don't believe this is the case and this scene is commonly misinterpreted. If you watch it carefully, Newman brings up the daily briefing to which Bartlet cuts him off and responds "Yeah, I wish they wouldn't do that." To my ear, he knew exactly what part of the briefing Newman was referring to (i.e. the protesters in Saudi Arabia) and responded to that. He was not saying he wished Newman didn't get briefings.

Error in protocol during funeral
The 21-gun salute follows the playing of TAPS in this episode. The proper sequence is for the 21-gun salute first, then the playing of TAPS. 74.74.240.133 (talk) 02:31, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
