It doesn't make sense if he's also trying to have a date with Mallory.<br /><br />Also, Mandy's character is reduced to nothing at this point in the season.

Allegedly Allison did it so well that they had to tell her to tone it down for the show. Quite why they had to do that I don't know, but my theory is that is went down like a lead balloon and they had to come up with some reason it wasn't as good as they claimed (a bit like Matt Albie's comedy writing prowess on Studio 60).stattohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08420839022142122193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283910549131429041.post-71920918076676814262012-08-18T07:33:41.751-07:002012-08-18T07:33:41.751-07:00It should be noted that The Jackal isn't reall...It should be noted that The Jackal isn't really a CJ thing. It's an Allison Janney thing. She did it for the cast and crew, and Sorkin loved it, so he stuck it in the show.<br /><br />CJ didn't shout at the president in the Oval. She raised her voice, a vital distinction. For an example of CJ shouting/screaming, see the scene where Leo talks to her and Sam in the corridor and she responds, "What the hell made you think I would scream when there are people around?!?"Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14040763356289135130noreply@blogger.com
