Yes and less than 48 hours he found out the VP was having an affair which led to his resignation and also the speaker of the house to temporarily replace Bartlett.

Yeah, and I always found that so sad. Cause the thing that leadership on both sides agreed on, was that they wanted none of it. On the show Bartlett wants reform done- but is in the minority, even in his own party. And so he finds ways to bypass the leadership, including trading ambassadorships and other stuff - and his main ally is a Republican who is an outlier in his party. The one thing the show’s party leadership agreed on, was to let corruption run amok. For a pretty optimistic show, that was kinda dark.

In many states including the District of Columbia, it's illegal to ask a job candidate his political affiliation. Also, it's usually a violation of attorney-client privilege to describe a memo you rendered to a previous employer (since it usually reflects confidential legal advice).

In this case it was not only pertinent but made the salient point in Josh's words 'a republican better look like Ainsley Hayes' 'He does' and that no matter what your politics ... no. matter. what. .. you can be on the right team.
