Summary: In this episode of The West Wing Podcast Maggie and Anne-Sophie talk about the 21st episode of season 1 called Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics. While President Bartlet (Martin Sheen) and his staff nervously await the results of a poll to determine his favorability rating, he begins a heady transfer of ambassadors and members of the Federal Election Commission designed to kickstart campaign finance reform and defuse an embarrassing incident overseas. Specifically, wheeler-dealer Bartlet recalls the married ambassador to Bulgaria (Lawrence Pressman) who is discovered to be romancing the daughter of the country's Prime Minister, but faces another crisis at home when Sam (Rob Lowe) is photographed by a newspaper giving a graduation gift to known call girl (Lisa Edelstein). Meanwhile, C.J. (Allison Janney) anxiously paces the White House corridors and wonders if she is being marginalized by Leo (John Spencer) for past mistakes. In addition, Josh (Bradley Whitford) clashes with opinionated pollster Joey (Marlee Matlin). We are now part of the IntroCast Producers & Friends Network. You can find out more about that here.
