Actor Rob Lowe tweeted text from a document released by the Clinton Library pertaining to his former show “The West Wing.”
In 2000, Samuel Berger remarked that there was no character on The West Wing corresponding to his position as National Security Adviser. A person responding to Lowe seemed to recall that there was a character on the show with that job:
@roblowe Confused. Anna Deveare Smith was Nat'l Sec Advisor on West Wing, Mary McCormack Dep NSA. Both high profile on show.

Lowe replied that a National Security Adviser was added to the show’s second season as a result, and joked about the reason (at least we think it’s a joke):
“@davidgaliel: @roblowe Confused. Anna Deveare Smith was Nat'l Sec Advisor." Yes, in season 2, in response. No one likes an audit.

Lowe then made a related comment on events today in Ukraine:
BTW, let's hope the REAL National Security Advisor is bringing the A game today.
