I'm confused about something from the episode where George claims to be a descendant of Thomas Jefferson.
Cal Robert, the ad executive, asks Louise to hear his idea for an ad campaign because women are a big part of the consumer market. Cal never asks Louise for her thoughts after revealing the plan to name George as Thomas Jefferson's great-great-great grandson. When Louise establishes her disgust with the ad campaign (calling it unethical and totally dishonest), Cal never really makes any attempt to justify the campaign to Louise.
Why does Cal ask for Louise to hear his idea and then seem so indifferent to what her opinion is? Is he at all concerned that other women may be as disgusted with the campaign as Louise is?
