[first lines]
Sally Langston : [monologuing on her TV show] Lovers of Liberty, good evening. Tonight, I come to you filled with the righteous indignation of a true American. Tonight, my flag waves and my patriotic fires burn, because tonight, over in the White House, the man who calls himself our president, is throwing a party. He's making a mockery of what our fine nation stands for. He has betrayed honor and virtue. And tonight, he celebrates that betrayal. Tonight, he bathes in his filthy glory. Tonight, he has the audacity to ask us, patriots, Americans, to join him in his jubilation, to skip with him down the road to Sodom and Gomorrah. And all the while, he holds our hands and tells us fairy tales, a young woman, a commoner, an all-American girl, who falls in love with the golden son who would be king? Really? It's a story. And not a very original one, at that.

[last lines]
Sally Langston : [monologuing on her TV show] I have it on good authority that trusted adviser, Olivia Pope, has found her way into the president's bed. Before the high-minded liberal, feminist elite media begins howling charges of slander, these are not merely rumors, these are facts. Photos of Ms. Pope lurking in the residence of the White House after hours. Lovers of Liberty, the time has come for this godless, immoral administration to answer its crimes. Yes, America's truth-seeking freedom missiles are squarely locked on their target - you, Mr. President. I see you, sir.
