- That's it! Maybe Quayle should grow a beard!
-
- I remember times when Nixon would come on television. He'd sit there
- behind a desk, the presidential seal behind him, and as he spoke,
- reading from those typed sheets of paper, the camera would get closer
- and closer, until his face would seemingly fill the screen. His
- facial hairs showed and there would always be sweat on his upper lip.
- It was groteque.
-
- Then the camera would fade back, signalling the end of his speech.
- Thank goodness. I once had nightmares about that face.
-
- Nixon with a beard? It might have solved some image problems. Quayle
- with a beard? That would be quite interesting.
