Or something like that.

This has the same potential as Mandy's memo, except that none of this is true. Since when does that matter to anyone in the American public?

To some of them, that might matter, but they only know what gets reported, and if no one's contesting it, they believe it. And we can't just wait and say 'no, no, it's not true', 'cause then it'll look like we're playing defense. Like we didn't think of it as a threat until people started paying attention and are now caught with our pants down (so everyone can see the president's underwear which he won't discuss with me).

It makes us look worse than we are. This made-up, uninformed book of lies makes us look bad. It makes it look like Toby's an ogre and CJ's always freaking out and coming to the aid of the woman and Josh is wanting to date his assistant and Leo is the only one who knows politics only he's constantly almost falling off the wagon and I'm employed simply as a pretty face to recite the president's agenda on television.

Things aren't really like that.

Are they?
