CJ's blindsided on the Taylor Reid show with quotes from an article on former Vice President John Hoynes. The news only gets worse -- the reporter who filed the piece lets it slip that Hoynes is writing a tell-all book for a cool $5 million and a shot to clear his name for another presidential run. Meanwhile, Josh gets pulled out of a meeting of the Base Closing Commission and lets Donna and Ryan sit in for him. Toby's got troubles of his own -- a roomful of AFL-CIO representatives who want to yell at him for sending their jobs to China, where they apparently manufacture cheap bras.

Josh:  C'mon, please, anything but the Base Closing Commission, the most ridiculously boring--

Leo:  I need you to sit with them and make sure they don't do--

Josh:  Wait a minute.  Is this like even legal?

Leo:  It's perfectly legal.

Josh:  Aren't they were supposed to be independent or something?

Leo:  Yeah, so's Congress and we talk to them.

Leo:  Check with Margaret about the Mural Room.

Will:  The Vice President has it.

Toby:  For what?

Will:  He's the Vice President, Toby.  I don't have to justify his using a room.

Toby:  Of course not.  For what?

Larry:  Here are the latest numbers on our trade deficit with China.

Toby:  Don't need it.

Ed:  Do you want us to stay for the meeting?

Toby:  No, this meeting's about politics.  Facts won't help.

Charlie:  CJ.

CJ:  Yeah?

Charlie:  Don't go on TV with Taylor Reid again unless you're going to tell him what an idiotic, shallow, uninformed, and lying punk he is.

CJ:  I think he knows that.

Bartlet:  You start handing out tuition vouchers for private schools, you're sending the message that it's time to give up on public schools.

Mayor of D.C.:  With all due respect, Mr. President, no one gets to talk to me about giving up on public schools.  I assume I'm the only one in this room who actually went to public school.

Bartlet:  And you couldn't be a better advertisement for them.

Mayor:  Kids weren't bringing guns to school in my day.

CJ:  What do I need to catch up on?

Toby:  The President signed a school vouchers bill for D.C.

CJ:  Are you kidding?  I leave the building for an hour and he switches parties?
