“That’s who they’ll confirm. Raging mediocrities. (…) I have good days and bad, but on my worst day, I am better than the amped up, ambulance chasers you can get confirmed by the Senate. You can’t do it Jed - you’re not strong enough. The Speaker’s running the table, and I can’t take a chance.”

“I studied a lot in school. I studied hard in high school and at Harvard and at law school. My IQ doesn’t break the bank and I wanted to do this, so I studied all the time.

The West Wing - Abu el Banat, 5x09
as requested by fastbloodfastblood

“Fifteen years ago we took a trip to Egypt. All five of us. Saw the Pyramids and Luxor and headed up into the Sinai. We had a guide, a Bedouin man, who called me ‘Abu el Banat’. And whenever we’d meet another Bedouin, he’d introduce me as Abu el Banat. And the Bedouin would laugh and laugh and offer me a cup of tea. And I’d go to pay them for the tea and they wouldn’t let me. Abu el Banat means ‘father of daughters’. They thought the tea was the least they could do.”
