Well put, me too. I remember when Nixon resigned, my two roommates were anxious to watch the speech. We hadn't had dinner yet, and we decided to order in Chinese food. I couldn't bear to see him humiliating himself, much as I loathed him, so I volunteered to go pick up the food, figuring the speech would be almost over by the time I got back. As I walked into the restaurant, I was horrified to find that they had set up a TV set for their dinner customers to watch. It was a tiny place, so I couldn't avoid seeing most of the speech as I waited for the order. It was agonizing, just as I had feared.
