Yes, it certainly was deserved and actress Patricia Heaton is playing the wench's part with great relish. True to form, true to real life. She single handedly squashed Oneil's intended work in Yemen, blocking much of his access. If not for her, perhaps the Cole bombing might have been avenged.
LOL. I'll bet Patricia Heaton played it with such relish that she even smoked a cigarette between takes. I know I would have.
