Stephen is definitely learning his lessons in bipartisanship and that even though he and Jon disagree on so many issues , there is also enough stuff they both care about.
I'm not sure I've commented on the Senateverse before (not on this story, anyway), so I just want to say that I love the way you make "Stephen" work in the real world and in the Senate no less. I mean you obviously write about "Stephen" all the time, but he spends most of the time in the surreal little world he created around himself at the Colbert Report and as host of a cable opinion show that has not nearly the impact he believes it has, there is no reason the general public should take him serious (even when he is). In this verse however, he has to be taken serious. I guess what I want to say is that it's fascinating (and a little frightening if you think too hard about the implications) how much sense this 'verse makes. I love how people now think he is not really that ignorant, but wants to make a clever statement, when in reality there are still those who don't get that it is a joke (and a clever statement). I hope this epic tale of bipartisanship will continue. :) Especially now that Stephen starts to come around and Jon accepts his fate of being interviewed about the whacky exploits of Senator Colbert.
And by the way, I love Stephen and his weird loofah obsession.
His iPhone didn't get coverage in Austria, so during the layover at Vienna International he made a panicky call to his press secretary from the hotel phone. Did the real Stephen have a layover in Austria, too? Because that would be really cool--then I would have been in the same city as Stephen o.o (maybe even twice?)
