The West Wing S2 E17 Sam Seaborn gets spanked by Winnie

[jesusthroughmary]

The mere fact that information may be useful to a particular group or industry doesn't mean that the federal government should be spending millions of dollars generating reports about it.

If you take this girls argument at FACE VALUE (the amount of knowledge that she has considering that she reads all of the reports), there's a very good argument for having a voracious reader like her as an employee who does nothing but read reports and breakdown a 50 page report into a 2 minute argument.

Winifred Hooper (AKA Cara Delizia).

Am I the only one that found her end remark quite funny?

[miahk2]

@Raiderlax32 That was a brilliant remark and even Sam was impressed!

[00Billy]

@Raiderlax32

No she was hilarious...good timing.

[ChortortleC]

She would be very useful as an information aggregator, if she could talk to other human beings without being a try-hard condescending bitch.

Also, she sounds like she's reading from a script. Which of course the actor is, but she's not supposed to sound like it...

That little girl needs to learn a little humility. You are lucky a man of his position is offering you a position.

[bornbillsmith]

@stringerboi She's vert smart and she knows it

She is also very confident that she won't need his help when she graduates.

He should had offered her something now when she really could use it.

[stringerboi]

@bornbillsmith except nowadays alot of smart people are working at mcdonalds and walmart, with a bachelors degree. Its not about intelligence, its networking. The language and tone she used would shut doors for her, not open them. Be honest, but be tactful when you are.

[bornbillsmith]

@stringerboi Having a college degree be it Bachelors or higher isn't a indication of intelligence

She wasn't going for a job and didn't have to impress

Therefore you don't know what language she would have used if she wanted to impress.

The way she can analyze a issue I would be sure she wouldn't even need a degree to get a good job.

The ability to understand an issue and analyze it can't be taught.

That ability can also be used in business and even in the military.

Sam: "when you come out of school, you should come see me for a job"

Winnie: "I suppose you are not a complete loser. And you write very well. So when i get out of school, come see ME for a job"

This attitude sounds cool to this dumbass generation i live in, but in reality you develop more enemies in the real world than you will have opportunities. Statistics show american kids rate #1 in confidence compared to europeon countries- except integrity and ability come at #25

[bornbillsmith]

@stringerboi

American kids are much smarter then you think.

Getting a degree isn't a proof of intelligence or even of ability.

This is also true about grades.

Doing well on a test doesn't mean you have superior knowledge.

It just means you answered the questions correctly.

Steve Jobs was a college drop and he had a attitude..

That didn't stop him.

Instead of commenting on how you think she behaved badly you should have seen how she deserves to be praised.

[stringerboi]

@bornbillsmith steve jobs was such an exception dude. Out of millions of kids who may graduate or drop out, only 1 can be a steve jobs LOL!

I praise her for her boldness and her love of reading so she can learn more, but enough years in the workforce taught me having an attitude is not by any means conducive to your professional health.

[PhilHaqeeqa]

I fucking hate that girl
