LOL. I'll bet Patricia Heaton played it with such relish that she even smoked a cigarette between takes. I know I would have.

Special report: Iraq
US sacks its woman in Baghdad
Washington replaces its team for the anarchy-hit capital after failures
Ewen MacAskill in Baghdad
Monday May 12, 2003
The Guardian
The US yesterday sacked one of its most senior envoys to Iraq after only three weeks, in an admission that the task of running the country is proving tougher than expected.
With Baghdad still in a state of chaos, there was a whiff of panic about Washington's removal of the top layer of its team responsible for reconstruction. There was also a hint that it is being forced to rethink its post-war strategy.
Barbara Bodine, the US coordinator for central Iraq, was ordered back to Washington, a casualty of the failure to restore law and order or basic public services to the capital, Baghdad.
She is the second senior US official to be sidelined within a week. Her partner in the country, retired general Jay Garner, head of the Office of Reconstruction and Humanitarian Aid (Orha), is also to be replaced within weeks, after a lacklustre performance. He too has only been in Baghdad for three weeks.
Washington hopes the overhaul of its team will bring a much-needed sense of urgency and focus to the reconstruction process. It originally intended to get Baghdad up and running by itself, but may yet have to seek help from the international community.

The Clinton legacy is more important than responding for the Cole Bombing.
Had they bombed.... Al Gore probably wins.
NOT! I hear she is a good conservative.....
I noticed they were pretty silent at DU last night too
IIRC, this conference room scene is just about what was recounted in
Richard Miniter's book "Losing bin Laden".
Of all the folks in the room, Richard Clark was the only one that really
at least said "let's fight".
(at least that what Miniter has gathered)
Maybe I misunderstood. I'll catch it again on replay.
Allbright..."We can't bomb Muslims while BJ is busy kissing Arafat's bum."
No kidding - they *really* make the Klintonites look bad in this installment (so far).
Interesting! Thx!
She's that toady for Dr. Evil.
Oh, great, a scene with Berger and Clarke JOKING about Saddam having WMD....pfffffffffft
"I wonder what Madeline Not-so-bright thinks of her own depiction."
Are you ready....she said something to the effect that the actress that is playing her looks like an old hag....I am not kidding...I heard it last week and almost died laughing..
It is so contrived as far as Clarke goes, hehad to be somewhere in the writing of it. Gee, everyone was against it be me. I was the one hero. Puhlease. He's a weasel like the rest.
They are showing the clip NBC had of Bin Laden.
The type of woman is a problem... we do have a female Secretary of State if you didn't notice.
Good, it's only taken 6+ years!
Yah, you noticed!
Clark-ee is beneath contempt.
