It's a nice touch that was photo-shopped in from Now This News, which went to Capitol Hill and got real politicians to deliver lines from Netflix political drama House of Cards, just in time for the Season 2 premiere on Friday.

Ashley Codianni, the Now This News producer of the video, tells us, "It was particularly difficult to get members to participate." So she targeted fans, and they came through.

In Season 1, Kevin Spacey's character Frank Underwood was the majority whip in the House of Representatives. Featured in this video is the real Majority Whip, Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., along with other members of Congress including Reps. Jim Clyburn, Trey Gowdy, Donna Edwards, Jeff Duncan and Sen. Tim Scott -- reading actual lines from character Underwood.

Spacey told us that reactions he's heard from politicians run the gamut. "I've had politicians say it's very accurate, probably closer to the truth. I've had others say it's cynical and unrealistic. It depends on your perspective. I was surprised that Kevin McCarthy said publicly something he said to me privately: 'If I could just kill one member of Congress, I'd never have to worry about another vote.'"
