She'd lobby the Carolinas
for the American Lung Association.
1:22:06
- It was a disaster.
- You're in good company.
1:22:08
They told me there was nothing
on the domestic agenda...
1:22:11
...they were more committed to defeating
than the crime bill.
1:22:14
Congratulations, fellas.
1:22:16
McSorley told me
the only thing on the domestic agenda...
1:22:20
...they were even more committed to
defeating was the fossil fuel package.
1:22:24
- You're kidding?
- No, I'm not kidding.
1:22:27
It's funny, he used the same words.
1:22:29
Pep Boys don't know too many words.
1:22:31
I'm gonna get a drink and shake this off.
Then I'll have some Christmas spirit.
1:22:38
Are you okay?
1:22:39
I'm fine, yeah. I'm fine.
1:22:41
- Come on, I'll lead the way.
- Thank you.
1:22:44
- Merry Christmas, Mr.President.
- Happy holidays, Bob.

Did what I think just happened

1:22:51
Did the GDC's political director tell
the President and the Chief of Staff...
1:22:55
...that three votes on the crime bill

1:22:57
...by sticking the fossil fuel package
in a drawer?
1:23:00
GDC's political director
didn't tell us anything.
1:23:03
Sydney Wade told her boyfriend and
his best friend that she had a lousy day.
1:23:07
It doesn't change the fact.
1:23:09
If Sydney gets her 24 votes and we're three
votes shy, there's maneuvering to be done.
1:23:14
- I made a promise.
- You made a deal.
1:23:15
- I made it with Sydney.
- With the GDC.
1:23:18
It's all academic.
We won't need those three votes.
1:23:20
Sir, if your approval rating continues
to drop, things are going to get tight.
1:23:29
I've been hearing rumors that your boss
is wavering on the crime bill.
1:23:33
I wouldn't listen to rumors.
You know this town.
1:23:35
That's what I wanted to hear.
1:23:37
My boss is starting to waver
on the crime bill.
1:23:41
Everybody cares about the environment
during a phone survey.
1:23:45
On election day, nobody gives a damn.
That's why you have a job.
1:23:50
On election day, people give a damn about
what I tell them to give a damn about.
1:23:55
That's why I have a job.
1:23:57
She got Pennybaker.
