One of my favorite scenes from West Wing 5x05 - Constituency of One, with Vice President Bob Russell (Gary Cole) and Will Bailey (Joshua Malina)

WILL
I-I'm flattered, sir, but I'm not...

RUSSELL
You don't think I'm politician enough.

WILL
I didn't say that.

RUSSELL
You play baseball coach for a moment. Two players run to first. They
both have the same time, but one has perfect form, the other, lousy
form. Which one do you pick?

WILL
The one with lousy form.

RUSSELL
'Cause teach him the right form...

WILL
And he beats the other guy--it's a neat analogy...

RUSSELL
I know I'm not the best politician, but here I am Vice President of the
United States. Imagine what we can do when you teach me the right form.

WILL
Sir, I'm a special assistant to the President.

RUSSELL
Chief strategist and senior counselor to the Vice President.

WILL
Are we playing poker?

RUSSELL
I'm showing you my hand.
