The West Wing - 20 Hours In America

This is one of the most fundamental and heartfelt speeches I have ever had the honour to hear, it always brings tears to my eyes. It is just my sincere hope, that one day a world leader will emerge, with the same compassion, intellect and panache that Martin Sheens character shows, be they, American, British or whomever. My heartfelt congratulations, on a marvellous show, that was the West Wing, may it continue to live on, as an example for generations to come! AJB

That was for winkyMcGee....in case there's any confusion. :-)

Now that was a speech. We haven't had a President who could give a great speech since JFK.

Really? The current one can't give a good speech?

Maybe that's all he can give......? But hey, not my place to comment....even tho i just did. oops

This is actually only part of maybe the most amazing last five minutes of any episode of the show, except maybe "Shibboleth." The subsequent scene where Mallory comes to Sam's office, looking amazing - his speech in that scene might be the best thing Rob Lowe's ever done as an actor. And yes, I miss Ron Silver, too.

Perfection.....I've watched this dozens of times, and don't get tired of it.

This is from the episode 20 Hours in America Part II. It was the premiere of Season 4 of The West Wing. The end of the 4th Season is Zoey's kidnapping. Also, there were only 7 seasons of The West Wing.

Wasn''t this the third season. I saw where someone said the fourth. But with Bruno and and all and running for reelection. I thought it was the third season as 4th - 8th dealt with the seond term. Isn't the end of the third season Zoey's kidnapping, which was after the reelection. From the speech and all I think it is the third shortly after 9/11.

Nope, fourth season. 2nd episode of a two parter. 20 hours in America.
