This episode - this whole season - is jarring in its pedestrian writing and directing. The stories themselves, the dialogue and the mediocre directing are all par for typical Hollywood, but NOT on par with the first four seasons of this stunningly excellent series.
This episode is especially stupid and clunky in several ways, including actions and decisions of President Bartlett, Leo, Toby, Josh... CJ is closest to retaining integrity to the character that was written by Sorkin.
No details here; I think it will be obvious. As CJ says to Bartlett, it's 'disappointing'.
