Drought Conditions (2005)

John Spencer: Leo McGarry

Quotes 

• C.J. Cregg : You want me to hire Cliff Calley? No. He's the wrong choice, and he's irritating, and he's obnoxious.

  Leo McGarry : That's worked for us in the past.

  [Josh yells angrily outside door] 

• Leo McGarry : You are no longer the guy who picks losing candidates and ushers them to their principled end. You're the guy who takes good men and makes them great. You and Josh, you still think you're terriers barking at the heels of the party. You are the party. Rafferty's a spoiler, shouldn't be in the race.

  Toby Ziegler : I'm not sitting this one out, Leo.

  Leo McGarry : Don't. But don't pretend you're still an outsider with a ponytail and a dream, you work in the White House... Your brother didn't have any more fight in him. You still do.
