Episode one of the BBC series "the thick of it" begins with exactly this situation. Perhaps the best comedy programme of the last ten years.
If you like The Thick Of It, you may also like the film 'In The Loop' and 'Veep' (both also 'created' by Armando Iannucci) as well as the Australian 'The Hollowmen'. 'Utopia', the sort-of follow on to The Hollowmen (which is excellent), is quite good too. There is also the 'Armando Iannucci show', which is very good, but also very different.
There is also supposed to be the Afghan version of the 'Thick Of It' too, although I have not found a source for that with translation.
It is mentioned in the excellent "Bitter Lake" by Adam Curtis.
