Language warning toward the end, during the hilariously pathetic part.

The West Wing - "Take This Sabbath Day"

 

After a day of his staff and multiple other people trying to find the way for the President to justify commuting a death sentence, President Bartlet's old parish priest pays a late-night visit to the White House.

 

The great Karl Malden (who should've played a priest in everything) absolutely owns this scene.

 

 

1) Yes, Carl Malden was a great actor and very under appreciated. Just like here, he seemed to steal any scene he was in.

2) West Wing, politics aside, was one of the best written and produced series ever on network TV.

3) This was a GREAT scene from the series.

It's only 35 seconds, but does this count?
