Stone-Cold Dunphys ("Election Day")
The Quote
Phil: "She feels great. Her spirits are high, the whole family's high."
The Situation: Like a big-city Leslie Knope, Claire spent
much of Season 3 campaigning for city council. Only in Claire's case, her
opponent was steely competitor ... more Duane Bailey (David Cross), and you had the feeling this
wouldn't turn out well. Phil, ever well-intentioned, didn't help matters when it
came time to rush the polls. On the titular Election Day, a local reporter asked
Claire about whether she was feeling confident. Unfortunately, her husband
stepped in and accidentally insinuated that he and the rest of the Dunphys -
including their school-aged children -- arrived after doing drugs together.
Which would at least explain some of Phil's slip of the tongue.
