Everything I needed to know about Rhetoric I learned from "The West Wing" 21 months ago

Call and response isn’t going to work in front of a joint session. You’re alliteration-happy: “Guardians of gridlock, protectors of privilege…” I needed an avalanche of Advil. And when you use pop culture references, your speech has a shelf life of twelve minutes.

"A little thing called cadence" 21 months ago

“We did not seek, nor did we provoke. We did not expect, nor did we invite…”

From a speech by Sam Seaborn (portrayed by Rob Lowe) in the West Wing episode, “20 Hours in America”

Toby Ziegler (portrayed by Richard Schiff) in the West Wing episode, “Somebody’s Going to Emergency, Somebody’s Going to Jail”
