Default West Wing Corvette reference?

With reference to a suicide bomber. Paraphrased.

NSA Director: "There were traces of C4."
Leo: "C4? The guy had a car strapped to his body?"

Anyone else here it?

Funny, I heard the same thing and it went right over my head. I guess I need to stand up so I catch it from now on.

Given the leftest, commie, socialist, Un-American, Anti-American, Maoist,
Marxist, limosine liberal claptrap spewed from NBC's "Left Wing", they were
probably referencing a model of mother Russia's engineering triumph: The
fourth generation of the Trabant. Or Trabby as Martin Sheen might say.

To reference a Corvette would be capitalist, right wing extremist, freedom loving, first amendment, mean-spirited, anti-environmentalist, gas guzzling, horsepower loving, self expresion... We couldn't have that on NBC.

I don't think Leo would know a Vette if one drove through his office!

Has anyone ever noticed how many times them boys (and girls) say "Yuh"?

It's an hour long Yuh-a-thon. I actually counted them once and over the course of an hour there were 53. If you downed a shot of Tequila every time someone said it, you'd be out cold by the first commercial.

Anyway, I digress.... I don't think Leo was talking about a Corvette.
