"Johnny, We Hardly Knew You"
Updated 2006-01-13 16:00:00
This episode is primarily about Santos's two different running mates -- Helen and Leo. Santos is on his last visit home before the election, and Helen is not at all happy about the way the campaign is turning their life upside down. It's even worse when a tabloid publishes a picture showing a flash of Helen's thong, leaving her feeling mortified and trampy. Donna tries to give Helen some advice, but it's advice Helen doesn't really want to hear -- at least, not until she decides whether she really wants her husband to win the election. As for Leo, it's the final days of preparation before the big Vice-Presidential debate, and he's stinking up the room. Even worse, the press hears how badly he's doing. Everyone at the Santos campaign HQ is in panic mode over the upcoming debate, but in the end, Leo turns in a more than competent performance in the debate. And of course, he was the one who leaked the story to the press as part of an attempt to lower expectations. In other topical news, Will and Kate continue the slow and awkward mating dance of the lonely political geek. It ain't pretty, is all I'm sayin'.
