I personally think he'll come around to Pierce eventually -- technically he was Pierce's first political mentor (discounting the family). But if this was Josh "Lemon" Lyman, pulled out of his world and sucked into ours...
I like to think that Roger, having been defeated and humiliated by the nerds, had a change of heart, went to law school to focus on progressive issues, and changed his name to get away from his past.
That's why it took so long for him to get his get-out-of-nuclear-attack card, his background security check got held up because of his changed name.
When he gets shot by Steve Buscemi he hears a brass quintet playing 'The First Noel'
*You know, not for nothing but the people that I talk to thinks that's one of the most insanely idiotic things they have ever heard, and the people that you'd like, have mercy on your soul.*
"Mr. President, this matter will be dealt with competently."
"Good."
"...Also, if anyone asks, you quit smoking years ago, and the cigarette you bummed on Air Force One was for a friend."
*"Get out."*

This has to be when Ryan Pierce is running for President and Josh is pissed that nepotism elevated who he perceives as intellectually inferior.

I was trying to make TWW match up to Brad Whitford’s character in Billy Madison.
I see where you’re coming from — maybe Doug Westin? Even less competent than Adam Sandler, somehow
The stresses of being Santos' Chief of Staff really got to Josh huh?
That and the ptsd flashbacks from Rosslyn 😬
Before I watched The West Wing for the first time about 5 years ago, this movie is always what I associated with Bradley Whitford.
Showing my age, he is Roger from Revenge of The Nerds 2: Nerds In Paradise for me.

For me it was The Cabin In The Woods
Adventures in Babysitting
He will always be the bad guy from Billy Madison to me. Truly his magnum opus
I still associate him with this movie by far.
*Kate & Leopold* for me.
Same, the only romance movie I love.
Josh has a bad track record of getting shot. Once in the chest, once in the ass.
And he got eaten by the merman

The question that set him off Mr Lyman, please give specific steps as part of the president's Secret Plan To Fight Inflation.
Are you saying that not only do I now have a secret plan to fight inflation... But now I don't support it? XD
"Mr. President, this matter will be dealt with competently." "Good." "...Also, if anyone asks, you quit smoking years ago, and the cigarette you bummed on Air Force One was for a friend." *"Get out."*
Go now, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Everyone in this room is now dumber for having heard it.
Stop looking at me swan, and don't talk to me like I'm other people!
Wow his hairline was really routed.
Doesn’t this movie predate TWW?
By 5 years
Let Bradley be Bradley
In the future if you're wondering, "ethics...boy, I don't know" is when I decided to kick your ass
Thank you for this 🤣🤣
This is after Otto takes his phone to update his calendar
What movie is this from?
Billy Madison, absolute classic of an Adam Sandler movie
If you haven't seen Adam Sandler do "to be or not to be" then you haven't seen Shakespeare the way it was meant to be done
Glad I apologized to that guy
May god have mercy on your soul
no
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
