Here's a story that might sound familiar: A politician's election campaign goes off the rails after the candidate's troublesome treatment of women in the past comes to light.

Draw your own conclusions. But for the purposes of fiction, it's a story that will soon be told on NBC's long-running procedural "Law & Order: SVU."

The show, a drama known for borrowing from headlines for its stories, is taking on the election with an episode called "Unstoppable."

Gary Cole ("Veep&quot will play the fictional politician in question -- one NBC won't outright say was inspired by any particular political figure.

Cole's character finds himself on the defense after "several women go public with damaging accusations" that cause his campaign to go "haywire," according to a brief plot description.

2. My favorite episodes are those based on real cases/issues

And Gary Cole is like the icing on the SVU cake.
