Shock And Awe
"Did you see the Huffington Post yesterday?"
Stephen rolled his eyes. "As if I would read that liberal rag, Jon."
"Well, there was a poll about you."
Stephen froze with a forkful of caviar halfway to his mouth, then dropped it on the tablecloth and whipped out his BlackBerry. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I need to Twitter my constituents to vote for me, stat! ...Wait. This isn't one of those 'which Congressman is least deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize' type polls, is it? Because I'm not falling for that again. Fool me twelve times, shame on you; fool me thirteen times, shame on...you can't get fooled again, is what I'm saying."
"No, it's a poll for Hottest Freshman Congressman—"
Stephen's thumbs began flying over the keys again.
"—but it's closed. That's what I'm trying to tell you. They already posted the results."
"Well, it's a bit late to tell me about it now, isn't it?" demanded Stephen. "Let me guess: they gave it to some pretty-boy liberal who's never done a day of honest work in his life."
"According to the post, they gave it to a pretty-boy conservative whose had earned enough from teenage jobs in a gravel pit to buy real estate as soon as he turned eighteen."
Stephen had surfed to the blog by this time, and was scrolling pensively down the post. "Oh, Aaron Shock," he said. "Yeah, he's handsome."
"I kinda thought so," agreed Jon.
"Still not as striking as me, though," declared Stephen with finality.
Jon rolled his eyes, but smiled. "Few people are."
