Voice: As a child Jason Bartlet was incorrigible. (A principal's office.) Principal: Was your gang responsible for torching those school buses? Bartlet: I'm telling you, it was the Brownies! Instead of sitting here, we should be rounding them up! Voice: As an activist he was fashionable. (The lights go out in a mall during peak shopping hours.) Bartlet: (Through megaphone) This shopping center has been claimed in the name of the People's Army of Liberation. With the power off you are free to reclaim any wealth which you feel has been swindled from you by our oppressors. (The shoppers engage in a frenzy of looting.) And break a few windows while you're at it. (Glass is smashed.) Voice: As a political leader he was abominable. (Bartlet delivers a speech in front of a rioting crowd.) Bartlet: Cheap foreign labor drives down the living standard. Artists drain the welfare system. Seniors crowd hospitals and the unemployed sit in classrooms. Children eat up all the candy and dogs won't pick up after themselves... Voice: Don't miss the disturbing tale of Jason Bartlet, better known as The Demagogue. |
