Sen. Maj. Counsel Cliff Calley:
That's where you're going with this?

[surprise line of questioning]

Rep. Darren Gibson, R-MI:
Yeah.

Sen. Maj. Counsel Cliff Calley:
Just to embarrass the guy.

Rep. Darren Gibson, R-MI:
Just?

Sen. Maj. Counsel Cliff Calley:
Leo McGarry's sobriety isn't the subject of these hearings. These hearings are to investigate if any rules, ethical or otherwise, were broken by Jed Bartlet while he was running for President.

Rep. Darren Gibson, R-MI:
That's nice, but I live in the actual world, where the object of these hearings is to win.

Sen. Maj. Counsel Cliff Calley:
No, it's not.

Rep. Darren Gibson, R-MI:
It's the object of the majority.

Sen. Maj. Counsel Cliff Calley:
Not while I'm the majority counsel it's not; this is bush league. This is why good people hate us, this, right here, this thing... And if you proceed with this line of questioning, I will resign this committee and wait in the tall grass for you Congressman, because you are killing the party.
