Here, look at this picture:


Now, tell me, does that guy have an eerie resemblance to Richard Nixon or no? I know this topic seems rather awkward, but if you ask, I'll explain. Just answer the question, though.

[Lazy Bastard]

Yes, yes he does.

[Astraea]

?????

[MIR]

Hmmm. Tommy Lee Jones?

[DarkSerge]

Maybe Mir?

[MIR]

Lies! I look more like Robert Kennedy with a lack of chest holes.

[Savvy]

Yes, yes he does.

Well, I was just wondering if it was just me and my inability to put resemblances together very well.

Well, anyway, I was watching Season 5 of 24 that I borrowed from my brother (great, great show, by the way), and at first, I thought that this guy (the President of the United States, Charles Logan) had simply this uncanny likeness to Richard Nixon. Well, it first turns out that he was incredibly indecisive yet headstrong in character, which is quite a bit like Nixon if you think about it. Moreover, later in the season (and I hope you don't mind me ruining the plot), it turns out he was actually indirectly involved in a terrorist plot that was going to amplify the U.S.'s control over the oil benefits in Asia...

Now, it could just be me, but when you put that personality, the ideal of treason, and the lust to become advantageous in the oil industry is rather reminiscent of the early 70's, the Vietnam War, and Nixon's presidency.

So, yeah, that's why I asked. I just really love 24 alongside very few other TV shows, now, so whenever a show enters into that tier of favoritism, I tend to over-investigate. You have to admit this is incredibly coincidental, though. If you watch Season 5 or have already, you'll notice it.

[Lazy Bastard]

Hmm. Interesting. Yeah, it's likely that was done intentionally, then.

[Minion]

I don't see how he looks like Nixon.

[bfoos]

Objection!

[Minion]

Even this guy thinks so.
