barrelled though house of cards the last 2 days. on s2e3 right now. very impressed with the show, but i have to agree with stevesie's complaint. those 2 actions seem really out of place in this series, and very homelandy. at the very least stamper or some other underling should have been the one to do it, if you keep that in at all.
love the addition of alma garrett and george hearst tho
