You might recall the episode in which President Bartlet tells off a Dr. Laura figure who's been preaching that the Bible calls homosexuality an abomination, reeling off a list of petty misdemeanors that some passages of the Bible advocate punishing with death; the rant cam pretty much verbatim from a widely circulated anti-Laura e-mail. In "Isaac and Ishmael," Toby explains that the people of Afghanistan are not to be blamed for the excesses of the Taliban.

...sounded so sinister. The song stretches out and engulfs, this time with the band’s accompaniment, laced with soulless defences of the amendment, while Amos intones, full of multiple meanings: “Mother Superior jump the gun.” If this is an anti-gun rant, Amos would be the last to make it simple or easy...

This may sound like a gross exaggeration, but it’s not. Canadian national pride consists solely of a dislike for Americans and their goddamned ignorance...
