3. Who was asked to "investigate" Lillienfield's claim that one in three White House staffers use drugs on a regular basis?

4. Danny gives C.J goldfish crackers in this episode.

Answer: False

No, in actual fact, Danny gave C.J a real goldfish after Josh told him that C.J loved Goldfish. However, Josh meant the "The crackers...the cheese things that you have at a party" and Danny didn't realize. Danny told C.J that the goldfish was called Gail and the goldfish still sits on C.J's desk.

7. The President was 28 when he "nearly got thrown out of the London School of Economics".

Answer: False

The President actually said he was 26 at the time. The website "http://westwing.bewarne.com/" states that Abbey "probably did some undergraduate work in Britain since the dates seem to suggest she married Jed Bartlet about the time he was in the London School of Economics".

8. Mandy thought that Roberto Mendoza would make a great Supreme Court nominee.

Answer: False

It was actually Josh who said this to Donna when he was talking to her about people in the West Wing who may use drugs.
