how much time Clarke was forced to deal with the superfluous issues King kept serving up?
Clarke did he best -- a great job, actually, calling them on their b.s., but King just kept going back to the same Rove-approved script.

Example:
Clarke: ....and clearly the plan for 9-11 was in place and the Bush administration ignored repeated warnings.
King: But I want to get back to a larger issue. On Sept. 4th, you said you ordered a corned beef on rye with mustard from the deli, and the receipt clearly shows a corned beef without mustard. How do you explain that discrepancy?
Clarke: I really want to get back to the larger issue and not get sidetracked by all these distractions.
King: But can you see how people have a problem with your credibility?

Seriously, this is not far from the actual conversation.
