"A Proportional Response" is the 3rd episode of The West Wing.

[edit] Plot

An angry President Bartlet seeks vengeance for downed jet which happened to carry his new physician among other passengers, while Charlie Young applies for a White House job, and C.J. talks reporter Danny Concannon out of writing a story about Sam's relationship with the call girl. Charlie, who was applying for a messenger job, impresses Josh (as well as Debbie, who becomes a recurring character played by Lily Tomlin late in season 3) enough that Josh insists on hiring Charlie as the President's personal aide, or "body man."

[edit] Episode Title

The military option offered to the President is a proportional response but he calls for a disproportiate response.
