Chief of Staff

Michael has been a touch stone since the moment I arrived in DC ten years ago this summer.  He has been ubiquitous and fantastic this week in too many ways for me to recount here.  Aaron Sorkin says that the best writers are all thieves, so I'm going to invoke Mr. Sorkin now for the illustrious Mr. Cole-Schwartz:

Bartlett:  You got a best friend?

Roger:   Yessir

Bartlett:  Is he smarter than you?  

Roger:   Yessir

Bartlett:  Would you trust him with your life?

Roger:   Yessir.

Bartlett:  That's your Chief of Staff.
