In which I talk about Presidents

[mymetalphantom]

I watched the inauguration, which was actually good and not as waffly as political events tend to be.  Was it my imagination or was Aretha Franklin's song just God Save the Queen with different lyrics?  I was like, "isn't that our national anthem?"  Oh well.

I have an unhealthy relationship with politics, in that I love it and hate it in equal measures and despite the fact that it isn't good for me I'm drawn back like some political junkie.

That said, during my intensely crappy weekend I bought the Independent, which I do buy anyway on occassion, but this time it happened to contain the DVD of the Frost vs Nixon interviews which they've made that film about. It was good and informative (as I know very little about Watergate)and Nixon made me lol, but mostly I realised that I have a disturbing fetish for journalists (see also my Paxman obsession), and I spent the first ten minutes thinking "ooooh, young David Frost". I am just stupid.  Monumentally stupid. 

Anyway, no one is interested in this so I will stop talking now. I will also randomly post some pictures, because I'm in the mood for some python...

i heard a little bit of the song when they were playing it back, and it did sound just like it.

also, i saw that whole interview a while ago. nixon's responses are pure awesome. i like him too much to like frost though.. (the loveee of richard nixonnn.~~)

and who doesn't love michael palin? now you've gotten me in the mood for monty python.

Ahh, you see, despite my love of politics I actually have very little love for politicians, so I'm automatically on Frosty's side. Nixon does make me lol though.

Everyone loves Michael Palin, and so they should because he is funny and beautiful all at once. More Python is needed!

w-what?!? no love for politicians?! how can this be? they're the greatest source of entertainment! see, nixon can make you laugh, what more does he need to do to earn your love?

more monty python, always.

To earn my love Nixon would have to have never been a politician. Let's just say that I've seen too much corruption and stupidity to feel real love politicians. I don't mind, they're still hilarious and politics will always be my addiction!
