Interesting that you reference Nixon. I watched Torchwood last night, so I went to watch the video of the speech later on. I only managed 5 minutes, but I kept thinking that he reminded me of Nixon. The same hand gestures, the same looking up from under lowered brows, the same look of exhaustion in the bags and shadows under his eyes that even the makeup couldn’t cover or long shots disguise, the same odd facial expressions that contradicted his words.
Seeing zerO on the defensive and looking worn was heartening, but not enough to make me sit through an entire hour.
He did look WORN.
