Josh and Hrishi dig up fun facts about presidential bibles, and cast a critical eye on CJ's flirting and Josh's mean sass about Jack Reese. They also talk with Danica McKellar (@danicamckellar) about how a character named Tracy became Elsie Snuffin.

0:00.0 | You're listening to The West Wing Weekly. I'm Rishikesh Yerwe. |
0:09.6 | And I'm Joshua Molina. |
0:11.3 | And today we're talking about Season 4's episode 14, it's called Inogeration Part One. |
0:17.0 | That's right, a two-parter. This part was written by Aaron Sorkin, based on a story |
0:22.6 | by Michael Oats, Palmer, and William Sin. It was directed by Chris Messiano, and it first |
0:27.8 | aired on Feh, Brewery 5th in the year 2003. |
0:32.0 | Coming up later in this episode, we're going to talk to Danica McKellar. Here's a little |
0:36.4 | synopsis. We open on The Inogeration, Danny Digs in on Assassination. CJ Tempts him |
0:42.5 | with flirtation, Hutchinson's filled with indignation. |
0:45.7 | That's as far as I got. Oh my God, people, Rish is losing it. I wanted to do it in the form |

1:09.9 | first, we cut back six days earlier to find out how the administration has arrived at the |
1:14.0 | decision to announce a new doctrine for the use of force. It involves Will Bailey finally |
1:18.6 | speaking truth to power, and Jack Reese being asked to put his head in the lion's mouth, |
1:23.4 | and then the lion's mouth closes. Plus, Charlie's on a mission to find a Bible for Potus. |
1:28.6 | And Danny and CJ continue their cat and mouse game around truth assassination and their |
1:32.6 | own flirtation. That's when I started to realize I could make this thing rhyme. |
1:35.8 | This is doable. So that was a renopsis. It was. Yeah, that seemed too good to have been |
1:40.0 | found elsewhere. I didn't do it in Trocake, Tetrometer, or a sinkane or anything. So, |
