* "Pure Evil": Every single instance of Bill doing his fake interviews with Bill Clinton on the air.
** Lisa, who's now in Dave's position, has to call her first meeting, but keeps screwing it up each day: First by choking on some gum, next by baking fancy snacks that distract from her agenda, and finally by Beth ripping her blouse as she exits the room, leaving her briefly standing there in her bra before adjourning the meeting.
