Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who walked through the White House tour group, that the guide seemed excited about?

Answer: Bob

The guide was played by Bonnie Hunt, who went on to greater fame in "Jerry Maguire" and her own sit-com.

2. When Bob confronted Dave about calling a press conference, which of the following did Bob NOT call Dave?

Answer: slime

Bob also called him "nobody." Dave replied to the petty name-calling by firing the man.

Answer: a job

The full employment program was no doubt inspired by Dave's temp agency background and Ellen's support.

Answer: In bed

She was lying in bed with a pillow clasped to her face, practicing "Tomorrow".

6. The gift from Vice President Nance, brought from Togo, was what kind of beads?

Answer: Fertility

Nance also bore a hat and spear from the people of Burundi.

7. What was Nance's pre-political job?

Answer: shoe salesman

Nance's wife talked him into running for office, and she served as his campaign manager.

8. By what name was the big scandal referred to?

Answer: First Liberty

It involved the First Liberty Savings and Loan. The President was accused of "illegally influencing government regulators on behalf of campaign contributors, interfering with an ongoing Justice Department investigation, and violating federal election laws in the area of campaign finance."

9. On whom did Dave place the responsibility for the scandal?

Answer: Himself (Bill Mitchell) and Bob Alexander

Dave cleared Nance in the joint session of Congress, and took responsibility (as Bill Mitchell) for First Liberty, but also provided evidence of Bob's involvement.

Answer: Paramedic

Bill Mitchell and Dave traded places in the ambulance, with Duane's help.

11. What did Duane tell Dave in parting?

Answer: Arlington Cemetery

They showed part of the ceremony taking place in Arlington National Cemetery.

13. Who was sworn in as President after Bill Mitchell's death?

Answer: Councilman

Dave had his campaign headquarters staffed by a number of familiar faces from his temp-agency, and he seemed to still be operating that business, finding people jobs while he oversaw his campaign.
