ReplyDeletesometimes as a color commentator on blood sport—that he is the majority whip: “My job is to clean the pipes and keep the sludge moving, but I won’t have to be a plumber much longer.” The president-elect had promised to nominate him for secretary of state, but Underwood very soon learns he’s been passed over, and hell hath no fury like a power-player passed over for a top-level Cabinet position. “They’ve done us a great favor,” he tells a staff member, referring to his betrayers. “We are no longer bound by allegiances.” Underwood’s interest in foreign affairs may be keen, but his passion for vengeance is total. His motto seems to be: When life gives you lemons, spike them with arsenic and put into effect an intricate plan to get the kids who live across the street from your worst enemy to build a lemonade stand. The top items on Underwood’s agenda are derailing the career of the usurping State Department nominee and messing with an education bill that’s supposed to be a centerpiece of the president-elect’s first 100 days.
