Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What nickname did the "Inquisitor" give Matt Santos after the picture of the broken bed in the Colorado hotel room showed up in the press?

Answer: Congressman Casanova

When Josh saw a picture of a ruined hotel room bed in Colorado, he pulled Congressman Santos into the elevator and asked him who he was with. The Congressman made up a story about being with a male flight attendant, but when Josh realized it was a joke the Congressman realized it was the night he and his wife had been together after being apart for a while.

2. What was the name of the woman that Josh made the new Communications Director after she talked back to him in a meeting?

Answer: Louise

Louise was played by Janeane Garofalo. Louise went by Lou in college. She beat Josh three times in the primaries. Josh didn't want her at the democratic media meeting at all, but an aide misunderstood and had to force her to come to the meeting. When Santos agreed to bring her on, he made on the stipulation that she reported directly to him and not Josh.

3. When Vinick was compared to Neil Young, who was Santos compared to?

Answer: Neil Diamond

When Santos' new communications director compared Vinick and Santos to Neil Young and Neil Diamond, Josh said, "I like Neil Diamond."

4. When Josh was creating boxes at the beginning of this episode, what did he say the third box was?

Answer: Trivia

Josh explained to Edie that Vinick would win on security, but they could win on Economics. As far as the third box, it was for any other stuff that came up during the campaign. At the end of the episode, Santos told Josh that they would win on security, economics, and trivia.

5. The White House stopped the investigation into the space shuttle leak.

Answer: True

Toby explained to Josh over the phone that they stopped the leak to cooperate with Congress and the Grand Jury. Josh wasn't happy because Santos would have to talk to the press about the White House stopping the leak.

6. What was the rest of the statement Josh made? "Deck the halls with ____ ___ _____."

Answer: Guns and ammo

Josh had just heard that the Congressman would have to re-certify and he thought that seeing the President-elect in a flight suit and holding a big gun would be a great publicity shot.

7. For the signing of the fisheries bill, Toby wanted little flags lining the table where the President was going to sign the bill. What did Margaret suggest should line the table?

Answer: Little fish

CJ mentioned skull and bones and suggested to Margaret that they go with something other than little flags. Margaret suggested little fish. Later, CJ found out that Toby suggested the little flags because President Bartlet was the President of the United States.

8. Joey was the only person to laugh at the joke Josh made in the Democratic Media Consultant meeting.

Answer: True

When Josh walked into the meeting he said, "This is the probably the greatest assemblage of Democrats since the last time Jed Bartlet dined alone." Josh was quoting a joke that President Kennedy made to a group of Nobel Prize winners.

9. Did Greg Brock name the source of his information about the space shuttle?

Answer: No

CJ begged him to name the source, but Greg Brock wouldn't so he ended up going to Cumberland minimum security prison in Maryland for eighteen months.

10. When Josh was discussing the mommy problem versus the daddy problem, who did he say would have the mommy problem?

Answer: Democrat

Josh explained the mommy problem would belong to a Democrat because voters wanted a candidate that would be tough on health care and jobs. The daddy problem would belong to a Republican because voters would want someone tough and strong on security.
