That sounds plausible. Normally they can bond over their shows and slowly discover that they are not really a horrible egotistical bastard/amoral leftist elitist (or at least have some redeeming features, too ;P)

Yes, that's probably the frightening part.
Well, I don't know, maybe Stephen does shoot somebody, for incredibly stupid or petty reasons (or by a really stupid accident that still is pretty much his fault), but somehow manages to pull a Cheney, anyway.
I guess there could be a story in there, but it would need another twist or it would just be the same as he and Cheney already did.

I guess then I'll just pretend that there is a very high probability that he was in a 50 km radius of me. (I wasn't even really aware that Vienna Airport was that international, with lots of better-known countries like Germany and France right next to us.)
