First time I watched this episode=tears.

I write this the day after the state of the union. I wish this president spoke like that.

@jairus no way it was anyone but Sorkin. It's his style through and through.

"Where did you write that last part?..."
"...in the car."
"...Freak."
perfect. XD

@jairus i know the "streets of heaven" bit is taken from a Tom Hanks acceptance speech for Philadelphia
-
This episode sticks out for many reasons, this speech and that haunting song and its actual origins give me cills. If you don't know the meaning behind the song do a search for it.

anyone know who actually wrote this? was it sorkin or another writer?

I just heard the story of a 13 year-old Australian boy named Jordan Rice who ended up being trapped by a flash flood with his mother and 10 year old brother almost a year ago. He was petrified of water, but when rescuers arrived and reach Jordan first, he insisted they save his brother first. So, they did. But Jordan (along with his mother) was swept away before he could be rescued. He gave his life so that his little brother could live. "The streets of heaven are too crowded with angels."

No. What they need to do is brainwash Martin Sheen to think he is Jed Bartlett, then make him run for President.
