(cash register)
- And then he'll enter from over here,
and you're gonna wanna stand here,
probably a low angle, maybe an 85 millimeter I'd say.
And where'd the lady go?
- Here.
- Okay, sweetheart come here, sit.
What do you like to eat?
- Um, poached eggs.
- Scrambled looks better on camera.
Get her a scrambled eggs, wet.
Now, when he comes in, you're very surprised, okay?
- But I already know that he's--
- You're very surprised.
You never expected that a handsome important man like him
would come into your little diner of all places,
and he's gonna sit down next to you.
And you're gonna wanna get a two-shot of them
talking from here, and ...
No, no no, not yet!
Get her another one.
- You know what else I'm not gonna miss?
- Besides him? (laughs)
- Diner coffee.
- I know that's right.
- How hard is it to make a good cup?
You just grind the beans, pour the water over it.
It's not like it takes a genius to make a good cup.
- [Woman In Black] Right.
- Hey gang, what's for breakfast?
- Senator Kenny Weston!
- That's right, hey it's good to see you, folks.
Ooh, you got the sausage. That looks good!
Excuse me, ma'am, is this seat taken?
- [Woman With Red Hair] All yours, Senator.
- Well thank you.
Hey, don't mind me, folks.
I just dropped by for a little chow. (crowd laughs)
Well, hi there, Miss.
- Morning, what can I get you, Senator?
- Uh, let's see, well I will take the same
as this lovely lady's having.
Plus a cup of your most delicious coffee, please.
- Coming right up.
- Thank you.
And what is your name, sweetheart?
- I'm Betty Bauser.
- Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, Betty.
Now is that B-O-W-S-E-R, like the dog?
- No, it's B-A-U-S-E-R.
- Oh yeah, of course.
You know, I once knew a Bob Brauer,
terrific tax lawyer out of Dallas.
I don't suppose you're any relation.
- No, I don't recall having any relatives--
- Don't listen to him, Betty.
- Oh, shit.
- He's a goddamn liar.
- Oh ...
- [Man With Mustache] He voted for it nine times!
- Oh, not again.
- [Man With Mustache] Nine times, you can look it up!
- [Betty] Shut up, Earl.
- My friend, if you would like to discuss this calmly,
I'd be glad to answer --
- He wants to take away our freedom, Betty.
That's how it all starts!
They check up on your background.
Then they roll in the tanks and the artillery.
Mark my words!
- Earl, I told you to shut up!
It's not bad enough I have to listen to you 23 years.
- Now, nobody's gonna take away your freedom, my friend.
In fact, I am a strong supporter of the Second Amendment.
- Like hell, you voted nine times!
- Sir, if I could talk to you
for a moment privately. - [Earl] I got nothing
to say to you.
Listen to me!
We're all gonna be slaves inside of a year!
- [Betty] Earl! - I'm gonna ask you to leave.
- They got giant lizard people
running the Federal Reserve.
I've seen pictures.
Get your goddamn reptile hands off of me!
- [Betty] Earl! Ohhh! (gasps)
- [Man in Brown] Okay folks, we're gonna move on from here.
It was very nice to meet everyone.
(laughing)

- Another in a series of humiliations
for GOP presidential hopeful Kenny Weston tonight,
as a heckler disrupts a routine photo op
in a small town diner.
Take a look at this exclusive video,
obtained by our news team.
- ... pictures, get your (bleep) reptile hands off of me!
- [Betty] Earl! Ohhh! (gasps)
- Joining me now to help make sense of it all
are our distinguished panel of political experts.
Thank you all for being here.
To you first, Tom Tishkin.
Is it time to write the obituary on the Weston campaign?
- If not the obituary,
at least the do not resuscitate order.
- Good one, Tom.
Rolando Iglesias, your thoughts?
- Well look, the optics on this are absolutely terrible for --
- [Kenny] Well, shoot.
- [Man In Black] Not so fast.
- Not so fast?
We've been doing this for two years.
- That's because you haven't been stroking the base enough.
That heckler could have been a supporter.
- That heckler was a whack job.
- Maybe, but he represents a key demographic.
- (laughs) The delusional?
- Look, Kenny it's like I've been saying.
This is the perfect time to reboot and move right.
- Um, he has a voting record, remember?
- Right, he's a moderate inclusive Republican.
That's always been our brand.
- Well, I'm sorry, but your brand is boring.
People wanna feel something.
It's like Atwater said,
"Grab 'em by the balls and their votes will follow."
-Yeah, like that's really gonna help with the gender gap.
- Shh, I'm trying to think.
Yeah, I don't know, what do you think?
- Look, once you get the nomination,
you can take any lukewarm bullshit
middle of the road position you want.
But for now--
- No, he can't, it's all on YouTube.
- They'll flip-flop us.
- Alright, well maybe we
after we see how things go at the megachurch.
- The Megachurch cancelled.
- What?
- They heard about the diner,
but I was able to get us another church.
- Where?
- It's little off the beaten track,
but, the pastor's very excited to meet you.
- Oh, we should just cancel.
- You cancel that rally, you send up a white flag.
- Alright, alright, we'll do the church.
Just get it over with, alright?
(church organ music)
- Heavenly father, we are so blessed to have
Senator Kenny Weston and his distinguished colleagues
here with us today.
Please grant them good health and wisdom
as they seek the leadership of this great land.
Lord, we ask your help in guiding us to choose
the best steward of thy people,
the candidate best able to restore
and strengthen our American family.
For we know it true that a nation
is only as strong as its homes.
Father, we know that this election
may be the most important election
in our lifetime.
With so much at stake,
and so many things seem to be changing
in the wrong direction lately.
Help us protect this precious land.
In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
- [All] Amen.
- Well, Senator, I'm sure the people here are anxious
to ask you questions about important issues,
but before we do that
we have a special surprise for you.
- Oh, well I sure hope it doesn't involve eggs.
(congregation erupts in laughter)
- I promise, no eggs this time,
but in appreciation of your long service for our country
our congregation would like to offer you
a patriotic serenade written and composed,
if I may be able to boast just a little bit,
by my lovely daughter, Liberty,
who as a matter of fact wrote the whole thing
when she was all of 12 years old.
- Is that right?
- Oy vey.
- It's all you, honeybun.

- [Nikki] She's a stupid fundamentalist.
- Exactly.
And she's from a battleground state,
not to mention she's totally hot,
which seals the Bubba vote.
- Not to mention, you're a pig.
- Oh, sticks and stones.
- Alright, that's enough of that, you two.
- Kenny, I'm telling you, this is our once chance to win.
- What, American Idol?
- What about the issues?
What about our agenda?
Remember "The New Party of Lincoln?"
- Look, you can forget about your agenda
if we don't get that nomination.
And the only way we're gonna get it
is by splitting off the bible nuts or Tea Partiers.
- No way those people are gonna vote for Kenny.
- Yeah, but they might vote for Liberty.
- You still won't have enough delegates.
- Nobody does, so we force a second ballot.
- This is so corrupt.
- Oh, I'm sorry if I've offended your high moral standards.
- Alright, so Dick, if I'm getting what you're saying here,
we still got a chance to win this thing?
- Correct.
What do you say?
- 'Bout what?
- The girl as your surrogate.
- What do you mean?
For impotency stuff?
I don't need any ...
- No, your political surrogate.
- Oh.
Well she is very appealing
and people did seem to respond to her singing, so ...
Yeah, sure, why not?
Let's do it, that thing you said.
The suffragette.
- Surrogate.
- Right.
- So,
It doesn't matter whether we like it or not.
That's just the way God made us,
full of the dickens
and want things that aren't good for us.
Am I right about that?
(congregation murmurs approval)
But, just because I see it,
doesn't mean I gotta have it.
And just because I like it,
doesn't mean I gotta take it.
Now, don't think it's any easier for me
because I'm a preacher,
because I am a man of God.
Shoot.
I probably got more sins than all of you!
(laughter)
Now, I'm not trying to shock you.
I'm just telling you like it is.
Because if you don't face the truth, then what?
You're shrouded in a cloud of darkness.
That's what the Bible says.
(congregation mutters agreement)
Oh, the young people.
They say, "Reverend Smith,
"I like your preaching.
"I like your sermons.
"But why do you go on and on about sin?
"Why are you always so judgemental?"
And I say, "I'm not judging anybody.
"I'm just saying to them
"they can get clean!"
'Cause you see, God is a great cleanser.
He's like a spiritual washcloth.
He can wipe away your sins,
but you gotta put in the elbow grease!
I'm saying to you, church,
you got to get down on your hands and knees
and start scrubbin'!

Hallelujah!
Are there any announcements over there, Belva?
- Thank you Reverend.
- Uh huh.
(clears throat)
Friday is the last day (soft organ music)
to take your chance on winning that family trip
to the John The Baptist Water Park,
so make sure you see Esther after the service
to get your ticket.
And we have a special visitor again today,
Senator Kenny Weston.
(applause)
Senator, did you want to say a few words?
- Oh.
- No, thank you ma'am.
He's just here to worship humbly before God
and he does every Sunday.
- Alright, then.
I know you're all gonna give Senator Weston and his team
a very warm welcome when you see them.
And don't forget, the ladies' Bible study
will not be meeting this Wednesday
owing to the problems with the downstairs plumbing.
And softball practice will be held on Wednesday,
7 p.m. at the high school, field number three.
- (laughs) And then the southern Baptist says,
"God, you didn't hear me.
"I said full of Grace, not full of grease!"
(laughing)
- Oh, that's a good one, Reverend.
- Daddy, that is so old and so corny.
- I know, but they're laughing aren't they?
- Oh, Reverend, I'd like to introduce you
to my campaign team.
This is my Chief Strategist, Dick Dinkler.
- [Reverend] What a pleasure to meet you, sir.
- Very pleased to meet you, Reverend.
I thought you gave a terrific sermon today.
Really thought provoking.
- Oh well, thank you.
- And this is my communications director,
Miss Nicole Levine.
- Well, good for you.
A director at such a young age.
You must be very good at what you do.
- Oh she is, outstanding.
- Levine, huh?
That means you're from the tribe of Levi,
the ministers of the ancient temple of Israel.
That means you and I have a lot in common.
In fact, I had the opportunity
to visit the Holy Land just last year.
Have you been there?
- I'm afraid I have not.
- Well, you gotta get there while you have the chance.
Makes you appreciate we Christians have to thank
our Jewish brethern for.
- Well, we did let you borrow some of our books.
(Liberty giggles)
- Oh, the Bible books.
Oh, that's a good one, Miss Levine.
You gotta keep her.
- Oh yeah, we'll never let go of Nicole.
You know, she started with us
when she was just a sophomore at Brandeis.
- Kenny, I have something to show you.
I don't think that, I wanna know--
- And who is this lovely lady?
- Well, this is my Campaign Manager,
Yolanda Jones.
- Who happens to be a very devout Christian.
- [Reverend] Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Jones.
- Ms., nice to meet you too, Reverend.
- Well, before you go,
would you all like to join us
for some coffee and fellowship?
Liberty has made some cupcakes.
- Of course we would.
- But there is something we would like to ask you first.
- You and Liberty here.
- [Reverend] Oh?
- Well, we were just so impressed
by your daughter's performance yesterday.
Somehow she just really managed
to capture the spirit of America.
- So we were wondering if she might consider joining us
on the campaign trail for a while?
- You, you want me to sing?
- Well yeah, sing, and be a ...
- We'd like you to be
a featured spokesperson for the campaign.
- I don't know.
Daddy, what do you think?
- Well, Senator Weston and his team
seem like nice people.
And you do say you're pro life?
- Absolutely.
I believe that life begins at inception.
- [Dick] Conception.
- (mumbles) Thing.
- There's one thing that concerns me
is that the girl hasn't been away from home very much
and I have heard of the activities that happen
on the campaign trail,
especially behind the scenes.
- Daddy.
I'm 24 years old.
I went to college.
- That's exactly why we would be assigning
Miss Levine to be Liberty's personal chaperone,
to make sure she's absolutely safe.
- Well, if that's the case,
then it's a done deal. (laughs)
If that's okay with you, Miss Liberty.
- Well, I guess if you--
- Terrific.
to Washington for a few days.
- Yep, gotta make some votes.
- But how about you pack up your things
and Levine, I mean, Nicole,
picks you up right here, day after tomorrow?
- Okay.
(Nikki clears throat)
- Now, who wants some cupcakes?
- Oh!
- Let's go!
- Okay.
- I made a bunch.
- A bunch?
- [Liberty] (giggles) Yeah.
- [Kenny] Maybe I'll eat two.
(bouncy music)
- We're thinking her colors
would be the traditional red, white, and blue,
with a special emphasis on white
to symbolize purity.
- [Kenny] I like it.
You got any pictures?
- Here is the concept poster
the focus groups responded to.
We're thinking a silo, maybe some grazing cattle.
- How about you put her on a wild mustang?
(laughing)
- Nice.
Yeah, catchy slogan, too.
- Now are you sure you want to quote
a famous bisexual?
- [Dick] What?
- Well, you know that's Walt Whitman, don't you?
- Whatever, these people don't read poetry.
- If they can read at all.
- (scolding) Nikki.
- And on the bumper stickers,
we're thinking just, "I sing America."
- Perfect.
- Great, I'll get them working on the first spot.
Wait till you see the t-shirts.
♪ Ooh yeah (electric dance music)
- I can't believe he made me her babysitter.
- She seems perfectly competent.
I'm sure you don't actually have to--
- I should just quit now.
- And let him take over?
I'm not even sure that I want to work in politics anymore.
Oh, and her Daddy?
- He's not so bad.
- Whose side are you on, anyway?
- Your side, baby girl, always.
You know that.
But sometimes you're a little quick to judge people.
- I'm judgmental?
- Sometimes, yeah.
Actually, it's kinda funny, when you think about it.
I mean, if he only knew. (laughing)
- Nikki?
- Hey.
- We should so get together.
I got a new hot tub.
- I'm really busy.
- (scoffs) Fine.
- [Yolanda] You could have at least talked to her.
- That girl is not about talking.
(Yolanda laughs)
- (laugh/sigh) Can you sit on this for a second?
(laughs)
(clears throat)
- (grunts) Are you sure you need all these?
- I need to be prepared.
- I know, but can't you just go to a library?
- We're gonna be traveling.
(groans) Sugar!
- Hey, hey, hey.
Don't rip it now.
Let me try.
Oh, "American Foreign Policy since 1948."
"Volume two."
Sounds like a real page turner.
- It's interesting.
- Well ...
Well, how about something smaller?
Hmm?
- The Little Mermaid?
- [Reverend] Oh, you used to love this.
- (laughs) Until I found out they changed the ending.
The original was so much better.
Hand me that other one.
- Hey listen, Lib.
If, perchance, you happen to meet
a young, eligible bachelor on the campaign trail--
- [Liberty] Daddy!
- Well, you're not getting any younger.
- I'm not even 25!
- Well, your mom and I were married
by the time we were 21.
- You were precocious.
- Well, I worry about you.
You know, I'm not gonna be around forever.
- I don't need you to take care of me.
- I know.
I just don't want you to be lonely.
- I'm not lonely.
I have lots of friends.
- Yeah, but not a special friend.
Not the kinda friend that makes your heart
go pitter pat like your mom did for me.
You never had a special friend like that, have you?
- Maybe I need to get out of this town.
You'd have to agree, my options are somewhat limited.
- Well, what about them Sarver boys?
I see them in church every Sunday.
They're good lookin'.
- Carl and Greg Sarver?
Are you kidding?
All they care about is four wheel drives,
fly fishing, and beer.
- Oh geez, well I guess you're right.
- Daddy, I know you just want me to be happy,
but I'm not gonna be happy if I marry
someone I'm not in love with.
- That's true, but don't you think that
your expectations are just a little bit unrealistic?
I mean look, let's face it.
No guy is gonna be as smart as you.
And brains ain't everything.
- Daddy!

And could one young woman save an entire campaign?
I'm Rolf Schnitzel and you've just entered
The Briefing Room.

Well, some political analysts are calling it
a desperate Hail Mary pass,

as a brilliant piece of strategy.
But maybe the results speak for themselves.

- [Voiceover] Now turning to you first, Tom Tishkin,
new polls showing Weston up by five points in Ohio,
but with the gap narrowing after
his lackluster performance on Tuesday night,
what does Kenny Weston need to do
in the next two weeks before election day?
- [Voiceover] Well, he's definitely gotta improve
his performance in the next debate.
He needs to look presidential;
in command, but still relatable,
someone the American people would want
to go on a fishing trip with.
And of course, the Liberty factor is gonna be huge.
She is enormously popular with both
unmarried females 18 to 25 and the Evangelicals,
who's turn out on election day
is gonna be absolutely essential.
She's sweet, she's smart,
she's very, very sexy, frankly.
If I were Weston, I would let her do all the talking.
- And the president of Turkmenistan,
I think I can pronounce his first name,
but the second name, I st--
- You don't have to worry about any of that.
You're gonna be great.
Everybody loves you.
- But what if somebody asks me something
I don't know how to answer?
- Just listen.

- [Nikki] Get out of my way.
- [Liberty] Whee!
(dramatic music)
- I can't get this without ...
Can I get a little help here?
- [Nikki] What's up?
- You know how to do this, right?
- Yeah.
- I just need you to ...
- Okay.
(laughing)
Uh, Miss Smith, this won't hurt a bit.
Alright, I think ...
We'll just go this way.
(Liberty giggles)
Well, you have to stand still.
- I can't help it I'm ticklish.
- [Voiceover] Girls, wrap it up. We've got one minute.
- Okay.
- Liberty.
Rolf Schnitzel.
Oh, sorry, didn't mean to walk in
on the dressing room there.
(both laughing)
- Hi.
Why don't you just scootch around here?
Yeah, so it's so great to have you here, finally.
I know we've been trying to get you on the show for
seems like a couple of months now.
- [Voiceover] And five, four ...
- And welcome back.
Joining me now, a face familiar to all of America,
Weston campaign surrogate, Miss Liberty Smith.
Welcome to The Briefing Room, Liberty.
- Thanks, Rolf.
I'm really delighted to be here.
- Now, Liberty, let's be honest.
Without you, Kenny Weston's campaign
would have been washed up a few months ago.
You gave him whole a new lease on life.
- (chuckles) That's very nice of you to say, Rolf,
but I really can't claim any credit.
Senator Weston is the one who's out there
every day fighting for ordinary Americans.
I'm just cheering from the sidelines.
- Well, I guess every candidate wishes he had
a cheerleader as pretty as you, then.
(both laughing)
Now, of course, we all know your father
is a well-respected pastor.
- But what our viewers might not know
is that your mother was a medical missionary
who traveled to some of the most dangerous parts
of the world in order to help those in need, until--
- That's right.
My mother was ...
- She was tragically--
- Yes, as a matter of fact,
that's why I am such a strong support of Senator Weston.
Senator Weston believes that America should take the lead
in (mumbles) ... creating a more peaceful world.
- Fascinating.
We're gonna take a short break,
but when we come back,
more intimate conversation
with America's political sweetheart, Miss Liberty Smith.
Stick around.
(dramatic music)
- You really think it was okay?
- Yeah, it was great.
It was perfect.
And nice pivot on that Mom question.
I'm glad you didn't let him push you around
and get too personal.
- [Yolanda] Hey girls!
- Hi Yolanda!
- I saw you from the green room.
You were fabulous.
- Well, that's only because of Nikki.
You wanna come to lunch with us?
- I wish I could, but I got a plane.
Dickler wants you back in Washington, too.
- Kenny needs debate prep, badly. (laughs)
Probably now until the election.
- But I thought she was gonna be with me the whole time.
- Don't worry about it.
You're doing great.
You don't need me anymore.
- That's not true.
I still need you.
I mean, your help.
I'm still not very good at all this.
- Hey, hey, why don't you come with us for a few days?
- What?
- Where?
- To Washington.
You could stay with me.
I have a whole empty house now.
- I wouldn't wanna impose, or--
- Not at all.
I'll give you your own key.
You can come and go
and Nikki can show you
around town between sessions, right Nik?
- [Nikki] Mmhmm.
- Nikki?
I'd love to, but are you sure it's okay?
- [Yolanda] Positive.
- Okay.
(car horns honking) (helicopters rumbling)
- Alright, Kenny, just relax, be yourself,
and the election is yours,
as long as you don't fuck up.
- I'm sure that really puts him at ease.
- Stay in character, Levine.
Alright, Kenny, let's try one.
Put on the glasses.
- Oh, the glasses, yeah.
Alright, okay, hit me.
I'm ready.
- Senator Weston.
Could you please outline your position on immigration?
Specifically, do you favor comprehensive
immigration reform and a path to citizenship?
- Immigration, okay.
Uh, that's a tough one, uh ...
Right, well Nikki--
- Rolf.
- Rolf, Rolf, right.
Well, Rolf, as you know,
America is a nation of immigrants.
My ancestors, my wife's grandparents, all came here,
legally, of course,
trying to make a better life for themselves
and for their children.
They left from wherever they were and came
to the Statue of Liberty, where our poor
and our hungry, our wretched refuse,
our tired, all huddled together.
Now, Julie's family worked
in the coal mines in Pennsylvania
and mine worked hard
on river boats up and down the Mississippi,
like you might see in Mark Twain or Huck Finn--
- What the _ó_ó_ are you talking about?
- Well, okay, you're making me nervous.
Just let me ...
Here, give me another one.
Let's start over again, okay?
(mumbles)
- Foreign policy.
- Senator Weston,
some in your party say that it's time
for America to scale back
its military commitments around the world.
They say we simply can no longer be the world's policeman
and they propose major cuts to the defense budget.
Where exactly do you stand on this issue?
- Well, I appreciate your question, Nikki.
- [Dick] Rolf! - Shit, Rolf!
Rolf,
as you know,
America is the greatest country in the world.
In fact, we always have been,
ever since we beat the Redcoats
in the American Revolution,
and I guess I'm just not ready to give that up.
You know, American workers are
the greatest workers in the world
and that's why everyone wants military hardware
that's from the United States, so,
if I am elected president,
I'll guarantee that every aircraft carrier,
every cruise missile, every jet fighter,
every surveillance drone across the world,
around the entire globe says,
Made in America,
not, Made in Japan or Guatemala.
- Kenny, did you memorize the talking points I gave you?
- Yes.
Which ones?
- All of them.
- [Kenny] Most of 'em.
- You have to memorize all of them
and all of the attack lines, too.
Absolutely no ad-libbing.
Just the script.
We can't rehearse until you know your lines.
- Well, I thought that last answer was pretty good.
- Alright, we're done for the day.
Kenny, I need to talk to you.
- Hey.
Where are you?
Okay.
(bouncy music)
(camera shutter clicks)
- "With malice toward none, with charity for all,
"with firmness in the right,
"as God gives us to see the right,
"let us strive on to finish the work we are in and that--"
(cell phone ringing)
- Hey, what's up?
- Oh, we're just leaving the Lincoln ... shit.
Shoot, totally forgot.
- [Yolanda] I figured you did.
Why don't you just head over now
and bring Libby with you?
We'll make it a trio.
- Bring her there?
- Bring me where?
- [Yolanda] Bring her to the bar.
- Yolanda invited me for drinks for my birthday.
Do you want to come?
(Liberty laughs)
We'll be there in 15.
(serene romantic music)
(background chatter)
- [Group] Surprise! (party horns blowing)
- What?
You sneaky bitch.
- I thought you'd never get here.
- Did you know about this?
(giggles)
Remind me to never trust you again.
- Hey, how are you?
Let me take your coat.
- [Liberty] Okay.
(sexy electronic dance music)
- [Waitress] What can I get you guys?
- Um, do you have, like, ginger ale?
- [Waitress] Yeah, sure.
- That sounds good, I'll have the same.
- [Waitress] Okay.
- So ...
How are you?
- Fine.
Fine, yeah.
Thanks, just fine.
Oh, I almost forgot, uh ...
I have a present for you.
- [Nikki] Oh, you didn't have to do that.
- Well, I was in the Supreme Court gift shop
and I saw this.
I thought of you right away.
- The Complete Opinions of Louis Brandeis.
- [Liberty] Yeah.
I hope you don't have it already.
- No, I don't have it.
- The dissent on Olmstead versus U.S.
is really incredible.
Anyway, I just thought, if you do end up going to law school,
you know, it might come in handy.
- I don't know anyone like you.
To you.
- Well, no, to us.
I mean, you know, to both of us.
Not just me.
Oh shoot!
Oh my gosh.
- [Nikki] You're all wet.
- Oh, uh ... I can do that by myself.
Thanks, um ...
Listen, I better ...
- I should drive you--
- No! - [Nikki] It's late.
- I mean, I'm fine.
I should really, I gotta catch my plane early tomorrow.
I should, uh ...
Thanks for a great gay -- day!

- Well, they're calling it "Kissgate."
A campaign scandal that has rocked Washington
and put this election back up for grabs.
America's conservative sweetheart turns out to be
a lesbian.
Now, Democrats are calling flip-flop,
and Weston's socially conservative base is furious.
The big question now, of course,
what did Kenny Weston know
about Liberty's sexual preference,
and when did he know it?
(jackhammer echoing)
(horns honking)
- I'm really sorry, Kenny, I messed up.
- Well, maybe we--
- You messed up?
You fucked over our whole campaign
just so you could score a little more pussy.
- You shut your dirty mouth!
You can't talk to her like that!
- [Dick] Says who?
- Says me!
- Well, at the very least, it was incredibly unprofessional.
- I just wanted to say how sorry I am
for all the trouble I've caused.
I'm going away.
- Liberty, it's okay.
Just because your father's a bigot, doesn't--
- He's not a bigot!
- That's not what I meant to say --
- He's the kindest, most generous person I know.
If anybody's a bigot, it's you.
- What?
- You think anybody who believes in God
is stupid, or naive, or deluded or --
- I never said that.
- You didn't have to!
- Why are you taking this out on me?
I'm not the one ...
I love you.
- Oh please.
You don't even know what real love is.
It's about self sacrifice.
It's about doing things for others.
Doing the right thing, even if it's not the thing you want.
Giving up your own life for someone else's.
That's real love.
- No.
That's codependency.
There's a big difference.
- So you're saying Jesus was codependent?
I knew it.
- Liberty, wait a sec.
- Oh Lord, we ask you for the courage to change,
for we know if we come before you humbly,
and ask for forgiveness, we will be born anew.
Oh, yours is a wonderworking, transformative power,
a power to heal body and spirit.
We ask you to use your awesome power
to heal Liberty, who's suffering so, at this moment.
Oh Lord, we ask you to fill her afresh with the Holy Spirit,
and to make her clean again.
Thank you, Lord.
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
- Amen.
- Honey, it's gonna be okay.
- [Liberty] I think praying made me feel even worse.
- But you're gonna be all better real soon.
The brochure says this place
has all the most modern treatments,
and a cure rate of over 90%.
Plus, with all those gay men there,
you know they're gonna have a terrific glee club.
- I think drinking is making me feel worse.
- It usually does.
You're definitely not a happy drunk.
- I shouldn't have kissed her.
- It's not like she didn't want to.
- No, maybe I just pushed her into it.
- I really think she'll come around.
Just be patient.
(Dramatic music from T.V.)
- And now, new developments
in the unfolding Kissgate scandal.
America's sweetheart, Liberty Smith
has checked into what sources close to the family
describe as a "gender reorientation facility."
Exclusive video of Liberty now as she enters the
Straight From the Heart Reparative Therapy Camp
outside of Lynchburg, Virginia.
- Motherfucker.

Welcome back, um, I would like to begin
by introducing a new friend.
Say hello to Liberty.
- [Ladies] Hi, Liberty.
- Let me begin by saying how truly blessed we are
to have you with us today.
We know how difficult it can be to take that first step.
But I am living proof that change is possible.
Most of our graduates go on to lead happy
and productive lives
with attractive opposite sex partners.
Some become proud parents
and leaders of Fortune 500 companies.
Some even go on to become
important figures in the church.

Well! (door slams)
Well it isn't easy being normal.
(heavy breathing) (groaning)
(knocking on door)
- Come in.
Ah, Miss Jones.
What a pleasure to see you today!
- Can I talk to you for a moment?
- Well sure, come on in.
I'm sorry, the place usually isn't this bad.
Have a seat.
Can I get you something to drink?
Coffee or pop or juice?
- No, thanks.
- Well, you must be as overwhelmed
by this whole thing as I am.
- [Yolanda] Actually, I'm not with the campaign anymore.
- Oh.
- [Yolanda] Reverend Smith.
- (clears throat) It's J.J.
- I know you only want what you think is best for Liberty.
- Hey, it's not what I want, it's what God wants.
- Don't you think God wants Liberty to be happy?
- Uh, yeah, but sin can't make a person happy,
not in the long run.
- And loving someone, is that a sin?
- Oh, well ...
- I don't know if Libby ever told you,
but my father was a pastor.
- [JJ] I don't recall that she did.
- I grew up in the church.
There were five of us, and my oldest brother Jimmy,
he was an incredible singer as a young man.
Everybody said he had the most beautiful voice
they'd ever heard.
Until one day, my dad
found him with another boy from the choir.
Were they ...
- [Yolanda] Daddy was furious.
Said, no son of his was gonna be a "candy ass faggot."
Jimmy was so ashamed.
We didn't see him for years.
Didn't know if he was dead or alive.
- Well, what happened to him?
- He ran away to the city.
Lord knows what he had to do to survive in those days.
He was 16.
- Did you ever see him again?
- I did, couple times before he died.
He didn't look the same though.
And the saddest thing ...
- What?
- He never sang another note,
not one note.
Anointed by God with a beautiful voice,
and he never used it again.
I guess he felt like he didn't have much
to sing praise about.

- Mom?
- You came out so beautifully.

- You know what you have to do.
- But what about Daddy?

And, by the way, could you ask him to get over me?
I've moved on.
(running footsteps)
(birds chirping)
- [Voiceover] And five, four, three, two ...
- Senator Weston, thank you so much
for joining us here on The Briefing Room today.
- Well, it's my pleasure, Rolf.
- Let's get right to it.
The latest polls show that the general public,
and even a majority within your own party,
have an overwhelmingly favorable opinion
of the Liberty-Levine relationship
since their appearance on the Sunday talks last week.
In fact, many observers
attribute your sagging poll numbers
to your poor handling of the Kissgate scandal.
Would you consider revising your position
on their relationship
and on same-sex marriage, generally?
- Well, Rolf, as I have stated before,
I bear no personal animosity
toward Liberty or Miss Levine
or the homosexual people, as a people, generally.
In fact, I wish them all the happiness in the world.
I believe that America is all about freedom.
That's why my ancestors came here in the first place.
Well, they weren't gay, of course.
You know, if they were gay, I wouldn't even be here.
But, uh, you know, I don't even know
if they had gay people back then,
except maybe the cowboys.
Did you ever see that movie Humpback Mountain
about the fellers--
- So you still do not support same sex marriage?
- I didn't say that.
Did I?
