"Over the past year, House of Cards’s political accolades have continued to amass. In December, the show received an endorsement from no less than President Barack Obama, who asked Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, on a visit to the White House, if he’d brought along advanced copies of the show’s second season. “I wish things were that ruthlessly efficient,” the president joked. “It’s true. I like Kevin Spacey. Man, this guy’s getting a lot of stuff done.”
The lines have only gotten blurrier from there. Kevin McCarthy—Underwood’s real-life alter-ego, whose staffers once distanced him from the show—appeared in a recent web video where he and other members of Congress repeated memorable lines from the first season. In short, the actual majority whip was willing to associate himself with a fictional politician who once held his office, and who’s best known for his ruthlessness and his penchant for murder. (In fact, on the Daily Show on Wednesday, Spacey told Jon Stewart that he’d followed McCarthy around Washington as part of his research for the role, and the two men ruminated about executing federal lawmakers. “If I could kill just one member of Congress,” Spacey says McCarthy told him, “I wouldn’t have to worry about another vote.”)
